A film I created to celebrate the 143rd birthday of James Joyce has been officially selected. I like to think the genius himself is dancing in heaven🕺  Dance Remix “The Ballad of Persse O’Reilly” Lyrics by James Joyce (from “Finnegans Wake”) Read & Music by POETAQ Have you heard of one Humpty Dumpty How he fell with a roll and a rumble And curled up like Lord Olofa Crumple By the butt of the Magazine Wall Of the Magazine Wall Hump, helmet and all? He was one time our King of the Castle Now he’s kicked about like a rotten old parsnip And from Green street he’ll be sent by order of His Worship  To the penal jail of Mountjoy To the jail of Mountjoy! Jail him and joy He was fafafather of all schemes for to bother us Slow coaches and immaculate contraceptives for the populace Mare’s milk for the sick, seven dry Sundays a week Openair love and religion’s reform And religious reform Hideous in form Arrah, why, says you, couldn’t he manage it?

祝🐍巳年 切り絵動画 ヤマタノオロチ  Happy New Year of Snake Recitation Film"Kojiki (Ancient Japanese Legends),Yamatano-orochi-The Eight-Headed Serpent"" 

  昨年末、突然、腰痛に見舞われた。慣れぬ庭作業で歩行困難に。起床時などは着替えさえ出来なかった。それが始まったのが、ちょうどこの朗読動画に着手した頃である。

「蛇(オロチ)が降りてきた!」

 これは退治せねば、と、三週間の格闘と度重なる「書き出し失敗」の末、完成したのが正月二日だった。お陰で、現在はなんとか歩けるまでに痛みは緩和している。悠久の魂魄が息づく神話と対峙するのは容易でない。恐るべし「言霊」である。


At the end of last year, I was suddenly struck by lower back pain.

Unfamiliar garden work left me unable to walk. At times, like when getting up in the morning, I couldn’t even get dressed. This all began right around the time I started working on this reading video.

“The serpent (Orochi) has descended!”

I thought, I must vanquish it. After three weeks of struggle and countless "export failures," I finally completed it on January 2nd. Thanks to that, the pain has now eased to the point where I can walk somehow. Facing myths where eternal spirits reside is no easy task. The power of "kotodama" (the spirit of words) is truly fearsome.
