the mouth is like a mailbox pushing reversed letters seriously through a kind of broken bravado of lust I’m making a present of my assets and promises, crushing dried lavender it’s for you if you’ll stay the tip of your tongue teases what could be called my lower lip at times I don’t know who I am random faces from key moments of life scattered through my head lost in the mists of laughing gas please please please please please please please please all influential people die in groups of odd numbers like your husband’s relatives they were shot outside the cinema the case is still unsolved, so unsolved I believe in every word you say you’re under the open skylight sipping on kahlúa over ice you’re always on the phone talking about cello lessons youth crime, savings accounts Hodgkin’s lymphoma, cocktail hour getting what you want please please please please please please please please please it’s coming closer I speak about my dream day in, day out, until I hear myself speaking from the dream

I wanted to get lost in other people other people’s greatest qualities a two story townhouse in the UK with a blue marble bathtub unaffected by the economy spend every day inside it like in a puzzle twist it with full responsibility hold my head in my hands like a cup of poison while everyone is elsewhere in some shared experience I’m consumed keychains, no missed calls, yearning networks, potential, job contract pressure, something to hold telephone pole keychains, networks, yearning no missed calls, pressure, jewellery pity, nicotine, nothing to lose telephone pole keyholes, networks, yearning no missed calls, passionfruit jewellery, permanence telephone pole I wanted to do a linguistic magic trick it has to be possible, I want to do it like it’s never been expressed before telephone poles after sundown silenced by a miracle or whatever this need is, I’m working on it

“The confines of one’s own abode have become painstakingly familiar to most of us in the passing few months. Solitude, solitariness and confinement have marked the spring of 2020 as life has been halted by the covid-19 pandemic. In A Room with a View Maria Korkeila and her cohorts have approached the task of giving form to these sentiments through the one channel which has been absent from life lately; the so-called nightlife. If we consider nightlife as an entity, certain patterns often emerge as giving structure and shape to it – it often has an end a beginning which act as place holders for what can be characterized as a ”peak-time”. The difference with the confinement era has been that you never know when it’s peak-time.

To approach A Room with a View one can turn to the thought of French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy whose writings on community and communication offer reflections on this task of being together apart and articulating this aloneness qua togetherness. The absence of the physical presence of the other is not a negation leading us to an emptiness – it is only an exposition, an opening, a vista if you will. Hence, A Room with a View can be seen as a glance towards a future in a time marked with stillness. For in times of uncertainty, dancing and poetry are essential tools to communicate, whether together or separate, a view persists in the motion of body and thought. “
