Revisiting Zihuatanejo




At some point of your life, you would wish for a place where you do not leave any footsteps behind. Hoping to avoid that resonance of echoes that reminds you of the void inside, which you are going to carry with you once you leave your heart at the door.

I am looking for my Zihuatanejo.

****

Andy Dufresne: When you get out from this prison, I want you to go to a place called Zihuatanejo. You'll have to cross the Mexican border.

Red: What's down there?

Andy Dufresne: You'll see. You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific?

Red: No.

Andy Dufresne: They say it has no memory. That's where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory. Zihuatanejo.

May u find ur Zihuatanejo wherever it may be. If I ever find mine, I'll let u know. Who knows u might just be my perfect neighbour in 'memory-less land'.
Do take care, Dr.T. This Zihuatanejo place is a zero-point land. Be good ya.

You got that right, doc. I'll avoid places where bad memories remain still in the rocks, the trees, and even in the wind.

.. a medical man with its precision, weights and measures, cause and effects, yet with a flair for words, resonance and dipthongs..gliding vowels..makes it hard for me to categorise you..but maybe, you r beyond categorization..and maybe, under every mo, there is a poet fighting to burst through..

MBG: Thank you. It's hard to come by

1: Yes, the east was never won, and the west is just too wild.

Fallen: Be careful of what you wish for, coz you might just get it

CIS: Don't you gedit? There's no arrow on the ocean saying 'this way up'

DwD: I like to move on really.

Zara: Sea of tranquility, Armstrong street. 56000 Lunar landing zone, Moon.

SPD: Don't kiss and tell.

Pakmat: You just described SPD there and your writing there :)
I'm just an old newspaper where people picked up, glanced at and thrown away.

Beneath the Northern Star down by Tg Rambutan way. You go that far and that is where you ought to stay.

Al-Manar: You saying i should be admitted into the asylum?

SPD: I'm his doppelganger.
