Whirlpools within Low Key Shots



Exclusive recipe for ‘BRONZE’: a dipsomaniac kookaburra + a bloodthirsty bat
+ wastelands, lagoons, and mountain ranges: 30 mg metallic luster was thus produced
(Canned for future use. Silk draperies were prepared too)

A low-angle shot: focus on her dark-moon eyes, to measure light…
(Objects around: a straight back chair, a black cat-- under the in the deep shadow of the archway,
Silver ornaments, dead insects haphazardly strewn,
Swirling, camera-dodging skirts, medieval rivers, and whispering breaths
Light source—the mighty agitator, rustled through the air

Where are your sandpapers? Polish this prickly canvas
And gloss of the second season is all unveiled now: but one of the objects in this still-life,
Has murdered the light.
In this abrupt, bottomless darkness,
Her hand, which raised you from the ground,
was captured by the wide-awake lens too (you haven’t even laid eyes on that snapshot ever)

GREGORIAN equals ‘rosy fingers’ plus ‘withering flowers’
LACRIMOSA equals ‘pale fingers’ plus ‘thriving flowers’
