| Illusion shared, a definition of what's real? |
The couple in the sky,
aloft, floating, holding on
above the Pennsylvania forest,
do they exist,
Or are they actors filmed
before a green screen
in one director's vision
of a new heaven and a new earth?
Let's say they're real, believers
in the illusion of each other,
a quorum of two, unique
to themselves in a flung galaxy,
For them, they're endless,
high up in blue-black
where magic reigns, and endlessness
brings peace, and brings forever.
—baased on a scene in Roy Andersson's "About Endlessness" and its review by Anthony Lane in The New Yorker, May 10, 2021.
