Rewind April 16, 2014

 

Same old video replays over and over again in my head, not dressed up in her tight black gown but a black top, orange skirt and she flushed with the exuberance of having waited her turn, leaps almost ballet like out onto the front of the stage, belting out some tune I have never heard before, the credits running at the bottom of the screen, misspelling her name with a j instead of a g, almost it's a deliberately, and I straining my gaze to catch every aspect of her on the small screen, unable to look elsewhere, and when she leaves back off the screen, I strain to find her, the camera so cold and its every aspect moving gradually on to someone else, revealing her by accident in transition and yet I remain fixed, watching for those brief glimpses before I rewind it again
