Camera
Impressions once taken
by lens, eye and mind
captured now beyond time.
Pictures of friends and lovers
show death and life in the same face.
The camera lays the future bare,
a future often unrecognized.
Vision-shock awaits its appointed hour.
Without that shuttering witness
familiar faces
would fade away in a box of light
without you.
