How does it feel to be the capturer
of time and rarely the one etched?
I know your intentions aren’t to hide
behind the glass. But your eyes always look
through one way and never the other.
Having the ability to open
a box and sift through paper. It’s a gift.
Or weaving a story in my head as
my fingers glide across the album. Yes.
Where is your existence? Tell me. Is it
veiled inside your weapon? Immortalize
yourself on paper, photographer.
If I would’ve taken it from you,
at least I could look back and see your face.
