Il est mort. (eulogy for Chris Marker)

I learned of his passing
one month after it happened -
a Thursday morning otherwise
consumed with insomnia and
thoughts of work and suddenly
my career didn't seem quite
so important, nor my sleeplessness,
nor my knowledge of either. I
wondered, in the way one does 
before sunrise, if his were the last
images I would ever truly love.


I wondered if I would
ever remember again
without thinking of him.
