It Wasn't Clean
It wasn’t clean at Calvary,
no tidy hill-top site,
neat-kept and swept
where tourist cameras
crowd
wide-angled
in the holy sweat
of multi-pounded package tours.
It was a common place
of cruelty,
and blood,
a skull,
Golgotha death
and mocking hate
and sorrow deep-confused.
In retrospect,
a place of wonder
infinite,
for here
the eternal God,
forgiving,
gave his life
for me.
“The Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20

THANKFUL FOR CAMERAS
Today I’m thankful for cameras…
Whether we’re taking photos of
people,
sunsets,
or birds,
A camera has a way of capturing poetry
without the need for words

New Cars and Cameras
New Cars and cameras
New places to go
Another man to comfort you
When you’re feeling low
Remember all the times we spent
Sharing everything as one
Watching sunsets on the beach
Kissing n the fading sun
I thought we were rock solid
I thought that we would never part
I trusted you with everything
My dreams, my hopes,

Hidden Cameras
Cameras are everywhere
Some seen, others hidden
Criminals should be seen
Robbery is forbidden
Nothing is infallible
A youth knew this for sure
He took a chance
Robbed a bank
Then walked straight out the door

After the Cameras Role
Bad scripts need work, develop plot
With strong clean dialogue
That is hot
Memorized lines acting poetic
Trying to be the
Heroic
Character playing a role
Moving in the show
For the gold
Since when reels unspool
Cinema is cool

Mannequins
The mannequins put on skin
pretending to be human
feigning familiarity
with lives they’ve never lived
performing a pantomime
of proficiency in poverty
the wisdom won from doing without
playing the part of people
they consider inconsequential
believe are below them
with whom it would be unsuitable
to be seen socializing
unworthy of a welcoming word
as they parade about
before the

Cameras and Me
I have been through cameras with films, Polaroids, flash cubes, the lot.
I have enjoyed every camera I ever had, recording people, always a plot.
Most of my first grayscale photos have faded into a weird kind of gray blur.
I once had a dark room in my home, where creepiness of all kinds would occur.
I never felt

Vintage Cameras
It’s the images
we can’t ignore
when they come
they come in threes
one
on top of the other
all gears
flashes
and springs
the mind shutters
clicks shutters clicks
and shutters some more

Cameras
Cameras
The root of my agony
Lies beyond this dollar store
To my foremothers and forefathers
Shackled by thieves
Stolen from the graces of Africa
Their feet once light to
The drum's rhythmic complexity
Now bound in the west
My feet --- diseased
Prohibited to roam
Even in this
Tiny, dusty, dollar store
This Indian man’s curiosity unveils
Equating me to ---a crime
Or a suspect
My

Single eyed the cameras,
Talk on click,
Smile on flash,
Save in memory like people,
Speak the truth,
Trusted witnesses,
In camera like their names!

In Black and White,

For a black again and again to click!

Making Love To Their, Cameras
Waking unto the lighted tree, reaching towards her waning night
Cast a glance this moon she swings; their thousand crows his child's
Dream these barking dogs and love that brings; questions, what do they
Speak the infant crawling past an open door ? Spoon of hand quest be more
Picturesque, transfigured scenes with golden dolls, about sanctum swings....
While her
