I Know a Man
I Know a Man - meaning Summary
Vision Prioritised Over Presence
The short poem presents a paradox of intimacy: a man who photographs the outside view from the room where he makes love rather than the woman with whom he is intimate. It suggests tensions between external observation and personal connection, the displacement of desire onto landscape, and a quiet emotional distance. The image raises questions about memory, what is recorded or preserved, and how people prioritize or fail to notice close relationships.
