Small frames

Small frames

A Poem by Rusty

Glass and sticks
Rocks and bricks
Pins and pricks
All in small frames

Mortar and doors
Streets that were yours 
Moving too quick
Clouds getting thick

Rubbish and waste
Joyful malaise
Freudian slip
Slaps on the wrist

Joy's happy pain
The mention of name
Your memory remains
All in small frames

. ah ... fascinating word play, dear poet ... if i were an oxymoron, i would be smiling at your talent ... but i haven't missed the intensity of expression either ... there's a visual sense to expressing this loss ... "your memory remains" ... "all in small frames" ... to me ... is about taking that aerial view ... zooming out and seeing the world and different spans of time in "small frames" ... since you are a pilot, i can't help but imagine this piece that way ... i could be wrong ... either way, this is an extremely succinct piece of writing and i loved it ... brevity is not my forte but i do find myself wishing that it was ...

For some reason this has the ring of a puzzle to me.. you know: work out the phrasing. see what you can find. The brevity has its own music, metre rhythmic and an ending almost enigmatic. We all see and feel things differently.
