poetry under spotlight

Filed under: poetry, mphutlane wa bofelo — ABRAXAS @ 7:24 pm

Writing for live camera-action

Lenses zoomed on the face

Sound-effect on the breath and the silence

Slow-motion hands caressing the goatee

Premeditated pensive poise

Spotlight on every speck of motion

Inquests into the gaze of the eyes

Gropes for cues into the poet’s thought

As if a poem is a psychometric window

Into the poet’s state of the mind

But poetry flows from the heart

And no microscopic measure

Shall dare to approximate

The depth and state of the heart
