Pixielating

.

       front the
         cheval 
   there her frame
         naked 
   her pink sheath
         posed

 from her boudoir's
          gate
  through it's ajar
      mine stuck
          eyne
 admiring hern front
       her back
       her front
       her back
       her front



* 1800–10; year mirror created

Jeff Connelly Date: 9/18/2023 12:30:00 PM This is so multifaceted James; where to begin... My first thought was of the scene in Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions, where Kilgore Trout realizes that if you blow up the photographic image of a woman's vagina: you simply just get pixels; thus, your title... But since you emphasized the word "cheval", my mind bounced around with the frame of a TV; a rotund woman's figure, and the slang word meanings of "horse" lolol. I don't know if I'm even close; but I really like this poem. I especially love how it looks on the page. Thanks so much James Login to Reply Jeff Connelly Date: 9/20/2023 3:54:00 AM Thanks so much for replying James. I do really enjoy everything I've read of yours so far. I certainly need to learn a lot more, and am willing.

The pixelating iz me looking back and forth; at the reflection uv hern in the "cheval" then, hernself... "'hern' front" iz in fact her poise..."'her' front" iz in fact, the front uv hernself...likewise "'her' back"...looking back and forth would ; in the artist muse, cauze the "pixelating"("pixielating"}
