Devotion's Visage

devotion's visage

a camera, too, is but a tool -
a simple box, a clear,
impartial lens that sees
whatever you want it to see.
I saw you.



(and the original:)
devotion's visage

I don’t think you ever realized

my pictures were my devotion to you.

no one ever sees you

like one who loves you.

the greatest and grandest masterpieces of art,

glorified forever in the opulence of their gilt frames,

were still made of paint.

a camera, too, is but a tool -

a simple box, a clear,

impartial lens that sees

whatever you want it to see.


I saw you.
