Love in Abstract
She wanted
something that wasn’t real:
An emotional
thing,
An esthetic
thing -
Love amid tangled
wire
And butterflies,
A white camellia
Crafted out of photographs
Taken of you
At the end.
‘Love in
Abstract’ was created by repurposing an article by Sarah Bonnette in
the north shore edition of the Times-Picayune. The poem was an exercise in "blackout poetry," a technique introduced by Austin Kleon who created poetry by blacking out words in a newspaper article.
