Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

Still a Steal

some believe
what some
believe

that to take
a photo of
them

is to
take
from

them
a part of
their soul and

so wanting
or should say
trying to grasp

what
happens
after the snap

shot
is taken
have i taken

or
took
part of

their
soul now
on my camera

roll
waiting
to be developed

but
what
of the old

photo
of my Nona
and Nono what

if i
take a 
photo of

their photo
am I stealing
a piece of their

soul's soul

Quoth Theraven August 4, 2019 at 12:14 AM Jeff, I don't always enjoy photos taken. As for the souls of the Nonae, interesting conundrum presented. -Richard Jeff Connelly August 4, 2019 at 4:42 AM I totally hate being photographed Richard, but not for sake of losing my soul. I'm simply an unphotogenic person. Thank you for your thoughts.
