lookafteryou.
by Steven Kenworthythe crystal ball makes a mistake
the girl is sailing faster than ever before
the piano tunes itself out for the violin
i put you in my back pocket and race
the sun goes up and down through the skyvator
hours go &
the last imperfection i noticed
was more perfect than ever
we're different
a long day
a fantastic shower together
in the daring way i want you
the satisfied illusion i room with
a scratched window
conversation is not always ideal
i hurt you bad
one person says i love you at the end
a belief system with big fancy shields
juliet, juliet
i watched you sleep anyways
theater house balcony
an honest perspective of me
a work in progress
our middle names have a matching quality
between the couch and the sofa
i want you
an elapsed watch
some collapsed lungs
a detailed account of the oxygen atoms we've split
no sleep morning
big eyed breakfast
the bright pillowcase painted backdrop
red runway designed
a white path through the courtyard
jetblues blasting off through snow
the new all-american brunette
a flying flag without freckles
reach at the moon
the third time is a charm
lucky star
i want you
i cannot say it will work
the second hand could be slightly off
but today is not tomorrow, yet 05/08/2006 Posted on 05/09/2006

| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 05/09/06 at 09:20 PM Hi Steven. Yes a sculpture. Like an angel inside marble...cut (write) until it's released. Nice stuff here. G |

The only object that is still is the observer but the only object that is ALIVE is the observer, watching in silence.Its like walking out a dream yet into another dream. There can be layers but then there can be layers of awareness too. |

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 05/14/06 at 01:11 PM A wonderful 'train of thought' piece, with images loosely but firmly linked together. A pleasure to read...thanks for sharing it! |

this is... so dead on for me right now. I couldn't have said it better, no words.

| Posted by A. Paige White on 12/07/07 at 03:47 AM This is so... awesome. Such art with words. The second stanza had me sighing (assuming the first five double spaced lines are a SK signature of significance with a difference, I adore!)S8 is the most expressive way to write that punch in the gut feeling of discussing "where we went so terribly wrong"... there is something rave worthy in each stanza. |

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 11/08/09 at 05:02 PM Fascinating to read the 'you' of a few years back. This has a more measured tone and I read through it more slowly than other works of yours, noting time passing and snippets of experience inserted. Great beginning line, setting up all kinds of possibilities in my curious mind. |
