Yesterday’s Today

one of my favorite photographs
of you is in black and white
color would have never
done it justice, it would have
complicated the subject
it is a Bonnie and Clyde shot
minus the Bonnie of course
sleeves rolled high around
muscles tight in arch
the resource of its simplicity
in blades of high strawgrass
and snarling angry branches
hanging waving at your back
I can almost smell the sweat
in this paper picture caused from
tense internal and external forces
where I see between the grey
and somehow it warms mine
thawing things I thought gone
and dreams I couldn’t pull together
and in this picture of yesterday
I clearly see, my tomorrow

just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

It always is a necklace strung from single beads of awareness.

Well done!
