what is nostalgic | 1 |
about photographs | 2 |
is that you will | 3 |
never be the same | 4 |
as the fractus | 5 |
I've imprisoned you in. | 6 |
| |
even the coffee stain | 7 |
on your sleeve enjoys | 8 |
the transmutation, | 9 |
| |
this inconvenient | 10 |
morning lineup, | 11 |
now returning, | 12 |
laughs in the voices | 13 |
of now-grown children | 14 |
wedged in an old album. | 15 |
| |
it too, is the present. | 16 |
the second hand tick | 17 |
or a dry-eyed blink: | 18 |
a [click] | 19 |
photons subtract | 20 |
on the other side, | 21 |
| |
where the extant | 22 |
ceases in places | 23 |
some things never were, | 24 |
even then. | 25 |
