One of a series of poems on the subject of film

 

the lens and the libido
           
 
nine to five voyeur
and paid quite well
 
models shift on the beach
tight silk suits wetted down
shutter captures icons of desire
bodies in fragments     never whole
 
the lens guides the libido
the libido drives the lens
in a dark room desire develops
cinematic signifier collapses difference
 
frame as fetish
ninety shot slasher shower death
feminists rage in vain
scopophilia fills seats
 
nine to five voyeur
and paid quite well
