All the beautiful scenery
the earth and the stars
the humans and the animals
but I’d rather be behind the lens.
Close the shutter
change the atmosphere
develop the photos
and wish you were here.
10,000 images and not a single of you
perhaps you’re in this one
behind the trees and their fallen leaves
or somewhere between the pieces of this broken vase
my memory is dependable
in time I’m sure I’ll forget
your face.
