Satellite Feed Poem by Susan Lacovara
Satellite Feed
The jigsaw puzzle map
I have constructed with tiny hands
Shifting states to move you closer
Keep you tethered to my time zone
I like to think of you
As building bridges to get to me
Mowing fields to soon know my footfall
Gathering twigs to burn
As a light in your window
I doodle your name on napkins and matchbooks
Adding my initials to a carved heart
Visit you via Google aerial view
Satellite feed to feed my cravings
Could you wave towards the stars
And wish me there....
So very close to heaven
A delightful tribute to the power of love's remorse and longing... deeply emotional... bittersweet and charming in the same breath... touche my dear poetress friend... what a lucky man he must be...

Your first poem I read tonight THINK OF ME ON THAT TRAIN appropriately hugged the earth in its imagery. This poem - from the early Space Age of satellites - with a similar sense of what's appropriate gives us aerial and space vistas. It has the same curious mix of calmness and impatience. You are the Queen of Images - they do your biding to create another layer of reality responsive to the heart's desires. To put it somewhat awkwardly but accurately, your imagined world is realer than the actual world, because it reveals how important that invisible factor of EMOTION is in every encounter.
