Motion Capture<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I expected an awakening<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

the time she asked me<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

to film her with her lover:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

mouths aligned, hands precise, <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

legs reverberating drum skins.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I anticipated rising, enigmatic fire<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

that burns with purpose;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

found desire<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

for precision of frame & angle,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

focus, lighting, zoom.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not that I\u2019d win an award<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

for cinematography,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

or than anyone outside the three of us<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

would see\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

from the moment I pressed the red button,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

my vision focused only on the lens.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
