John lives AU. 2024. John goes to a private opening of Paul’s EYES OF THE STORM exhibition. Everyone comments on how sweet and soft Paul’s pictures of him are. Using the pictures to guide him, John reflects on the past of his and Paul’s long and complicated love…and in the end, he and Paul have to decide where to take the next chapter of their story.
Inspired by: Jacques Brel, Ne Me Quitte Pas, especially this part:
On a vu souvent / Rejaillir le feu / De l'ancien volcan / Qu'on croyait trop vieux / Il est, paraît-il / Des terres brûlées / Donnant plus de blé / Qu'un meilleur avril / Et quand vient le soir / Pour qu'un ciel flamboie / Le rouge et le noir / Ne s'épousent-ils pas? / Ne me quitte pas / Ne me quitte pas / Ne me quitte pas / Ne me quitte pas
[We've often seen / Fire flowing again / From an ancient volcano/ Considered too old / It's said that there are / Fire-scorched lands / That yield more wheat / Than the best April / And when evening comes / With a burning sky / The red and the black— / Are they not joined together? / Don't leave me / Don't leave me / Don't leave me / Don't leave me]

I went to the Eyes of storm exhibit in New York :p
My favorite picture of George was in a slide show so I could take a picture of it but there was a shit ton of other George photos anyways. I think it’s cute that he marked his favorite photos with Xs/checks. Also idk why I didn’t realize that Cynthia came with them on the first America trip
Also I love how obsessed they are with that one photo of George in Miami. They put it on a shirt and I think that really funny
With over 250 photographs on display, it’s hard to pick a favourite! Here are two of Paul’s selections from his Eyes Of The Storm exhibition, on until August 18th at the Brooklyn Museum 📷
