pause, set, rewind. the memories never fade.

Marta Thinks: poetic abortion's rewind is written wonderfully. Split into three short parts titled appropriately, (pause-set-rewind), it describes how a loved one can never be replaced. Although this may appear like an overused topic, poetic abortion makes sure that this isn’t the case. The lack of punctuation - and the misuse of it - allows the poem to be raw and passionate, as though the phrases are broken off thoughts. Nevertheless, what makes it exceptionally powerful is how it manages to present various snapshots in a way that allows them to create a single image when they are put together. I would include my favorite line…but then I would be writing down the whole poem.
