Still (The Amateur)
This picture's edges are blurry.
Perhaps I was just trembling too much,
too eager to save-or
digest this moment.
Loaded with a new roll of film,
flashes escape my eyes
as their shutters briefly blink for clarity,
full focusing is difficult
as images in the background
lose their meaning.
This picture's edges are blurry.
Perhaps it's the light reflected
from the tunnel of my vision
or maybe I'm zooming in
and falling too fast.
Colours cloud and concentrate,
a psychadelic panorama,
a kaleidasope of gems,
with your silver silhouette shining;
encircling rubies, emeralds, diamonds...
This picture's edges are blurry
no matter how many times I look.
It is my favorite
and it is I that is captured.
