A watched
pot never boils, so perhaps
a son on a screen never
dies. Like the eyes
of a painting this image
follows wherever we move.
Surveillance is love, love
is every moment the last.
Barely moving picture, memory
of now, sleep, be still, be
safe. Night is long, life short.
I cover you with my eyes.
