KINSELLA FILM
saw
that Kinsella film
got it into my head
that if I built
you a
dance studio
you would come
maybe an outdoor
open air theater
would clinch the deal
drag you
down from Heaven
the one up there
or one, or
even more than one
down here
place more fine
more Heavenly
created with
a loving care
almost equal to mine
Oh, what a stunning and haunting poem. There’s so much longing in these lines—a kind of romantic determination woven through quiet grief. The speaker isn’t just building a studio or a theater; they’re building a world meant to be more beautiful than Heaven itself, in hopes it could bridge the impossible distance between here and there. The phrase “almost equal to mine” is especially powerful—it quietly tells us that no craftsmanship, however divine, could quite match the depth of the love that motivates it. This feels like an offering, an act of faith in beauty as a kind of summoning spell. Really beautiful work.
