Pointe of Vieu

by Steven Kenworthy

for you i keep the images slightly digital
and voice pixelated i can feel myself breaking
up in breathing through with all of you
the sun shining blinding the window behind us
is bleaching the entire scene and it's to a point
where i can only see the deepest creases of
your skin slow dancing and then quickly.

this telescope is partially shattered and barely
focused only enough to give me the music video
i've been praying for for weeks or years
are so long for me to not be watching you
this entire time i've been shaking hard fighting for focus
from this afar you're brilliant and so bravely i
caught you in a staredown when things were just
beginning to pickup and they definitely did.

I think I tried something like that once. Sure feels like it, anyway. Excellent work, man.

I love this. It feels so incredibly familiar. And you know, you inspire me to write more. Thank you. I know it doesn't sound like much but it's all I have and I am so grateful.

I enjoyed the play of the digital/pixelated voice - a pixelated voice - a totally unique thought. Line 4 is just too much fun to read over and over. You are the telescope - cool. I like the simplicity of "so bravely I caught you in a staredown" - nice. The author's note is electric.... ;)...

"this telescope is partially shattered" -- that image/idea/thought really resonates. i'd like to challenge you to write a poem that i'll dislike. write something worthless. please.

S.K., this feels like taking a big breath and trying to explain to her how and why it's been all about her, even if she missed that. It's complex and still attached at the same time. Nice work, mon.

you were right, it tickles me. :)
