Qfwfq is the speaker throughout the
piece I believe and I thing the most comprehensive symbol is the moon being his
love. The intricate attention to detail he has toward the big ball of wet clay
in every sensory way shows how revered the moon is to him. I believe there is
also “the grass is never greener” symbol here in that Qfwfq thought the moon
would be amazing to remain on for a month and that it’s beauty should be
exalted but once upon the moon for a prolonged period, he took his first chance
to return back to earth.
I think its
also a possibility that the moon milk is a symbol for harvested oil and other
resources from other lands and the land or the inhabitants of the lands
eventually will fight back to an outside stripping from their area just as the
moon pushed away.

I like many
others have always had a thirst for exploration outside of our planet and our
solar system so the fascination with the moon is the most basic among others. I
don’t know if my love goes as far as Qfwfq to the point I’d ride a moon to the
galaxy but Ive always wanted the possibility to visit a home that is not our
own. I can also relate to the Captain’s
Wife restlessness she gets when he is away. I was with a Marine for 4 years and
experienced what it was like to have a significant other constantly leaving for
prolonged periods of time and giving more love to a place (in my case his love
for the Marines and the places he traveled) than to their partner. It’s maddening.

I would
transfer this into a silent short film and use a 2001 approach. Prolonged
shots, little cutting, I would start with Qfwfq obviously trying to impress the
Captain’s Wife while the Captain was only looking at the moon. It would be very
muted in color and obviously have to have a lot of special effects. It would
show the layers of infatuation from Qfwfq – Captain’s Wife – Captain – Moon. In
the end I would have Qfwfq win the Captain’s Wife and them escape but the Captain
get pulled onto the Moon being stuck there forever bound to is ignorance to
those around him that loved him.
