sweet meditation
birds and spring peepers chirping
as the ferns unfold

Backswept
“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment
that’s
gone forever, impossible to reproduce.” ― Karl Lagerfeld
Backswept
Sepia memories
intermingle
with
Kodachrome moments,
souvenirs,
snapshots of faces,
spaces and
times gone by.
People and
places
pulled out of
the past;
revisited,
recalled
in all their
guises,
at group
gatherings or
in solitary
reminiscence.
Familiar
ferrotypes, candid captures,
airbrushed
blowups – tokens
of the
graceful and clumsy,
adored and
disgraced,
the chosen and
those
fallen from
favor, both
remembered and
forgotten,
strangers and
loved ones
held and lost
along the way.
Mementos
stored,
hoarded in
boxes, albums,
tucked into
cupboards
and crates and
cranium,
wrinkled and
torn in places,
faded,
delicate, thin-skinned;
but all the
more cherished
for being
bittersweet.
