Inside A T.V.

Inside a T.V.

She crosses the hurdle, the gateway;

steps inside the world within the screen,

the inside universe of a T.V. set

where blurred noises are snarling behind

the cage of the silence mode, night shows.

 

The sparkles of luminous particles

consume her; blur her self, her body.

She has been watching these blurred visions

since the last breakup,

since the leftover

of stale memory made her ill at ease.

Now she is inside the void images,

now herself a blurred panorama.

 

She wants to see if there is anybody

watching her with blank eyes, slightly watery.

Wonderful imagery!

10 for you!!!
Alison H. Feb 18, 2009, 10:09pm EST
A wonderful portrayal.

I have to smile, not at the plight of the subject, but at the fact that I have been watching some wonderful late night cable TV shows lately. I do not usually watch much TV, but I have been amazed at the wonderful subject matter I have found--medical mysteries, history, anthropology--just amazing!

It says something about us.
Good write.

Granny Janny H. Feb 18, 2009, 11:52pm EST
Surreal for sure...blurry, the repeating word reveals a dismal world.

Poddar,

I haven't had the opportunity of reading your material in months. I've been away from gather.

MyHotComments Great reading material.

What an unusual perspective! I have felt like that girl in the past, in the midst of emotional pain, wanting to lose myself in the imaginary lives of others, and if only the could relate to mine. Thanks goodness pain heals, what a lonely place to get stuck. Thanks Poddar!
KC Klein Feb 19, 2009, 3:21am EST
It's OK.
Nancy Biri Feb 19, 2009, 7:25am EST
nice
Theresa M. Feb 19, 2009, 7:36am EST
I can imagine wanting to "blur" into another dissociative image when being in pain. Again, you have put the image beautifully, Poddar.
Kelly K. Feb 19, 2009, 7:55am EST
Thanks for sharing. Alothough I don't have time to keep up with everything here on Gather, when I do have the opportunity to read your stuff it is always so well written.
Haim Kadman Feb 19, 2009, 8:24am EST

Adrian Eve Revenaugh Feb 19, 2009, 9:11am EST
And many blurry, bleary eyes were found, needing fractalized tissues they could pass around.


Aren't YOU growing ever keener,
with pictures that touch so many.......
Adrian Eve Revenaugh Feb 19, 2009, 9:15am EST
....pictures that now reach out

through so many screens!
Ann M. (Site Scryer) Feb 19, 2009, 9:55am EST
Poddar, this sounds as if it were written with The Surreal Circus in mind!
Ann M. (Site Scryer) Feb 19, 2009, 9:55am EST
