depth of field

Who can blame me for losing focus when you are close?

it's all about clarity—
a zone of sharpest focus

                       (around you
                       in front of you
                       behind you
                       before and after you)

the bigger the heart
the narrower the depth of field

         who (with full heart) can concentrate on the background?

the farther away I am
the more depth of field that I can attain

         who wants to see you lost in a clear landscape, small and bright?

i need you in my picture
to clarify the rest

how much I see around you
is through you

you saturate my life
with something to focus on

         who says I need to keep you in perspective?
