Excerpt no. 1

A LANDSCAPE
newly bathed in ambiguous hues
of nuanced shadow
mocks the certitude
of yesterday when
fading fear seemed to impel
a vault beyond habit

 

Excerpt no. 2

THE CAMERA SENSED
what other lenses
once had seen
only to forget
in the flow of time
and flood of presence.
Lost focus regained
through the
frozen poignance
of one captured instant
