Poem

large format camera on tripod
Words in pictures,
Pictures of words —
Impressions captured in a moment.
Moment captured by impression.
The shutter of the camera opens and closes:
On the film is a picture of the world,
seen through a lens.
A slide projected on a wall,
image of reality.


The luminescence and the pure colors,
the sharpness and clarity;
everything speaks for itself.
Every detail so clear.
Everything so alive —
The feeling in the midst of it,
can say more than words


A slide projected on a wall,
work of a camera —
image of reality.
A poem scribed on paper,
work of a moment —
eternity’s image.
