Two voices intertwine over an extreme close-up
of a woman’s hands as she files her nails.
This is about waiting, rain, heat.
Paradoxically, the trivial gestures of the manicure
make the body’s presence even more abstract,
and direct our attention toward the imaginative
space delineated by a dialogue
between two dissociated voices.
