A CONFLUENCE OF DAYS, WEEKS AND YEARS

by Jonathan Vold

Sunday, August 28

1. Snapshot

  ...I, on a rainy day, once found the perfect picture
  when sunshine filtered through rolling gray
  to give raindrops their color.  Now
 
  cameras are useless brushes, should some sudden need occur
  , forever missing pixels, looking past contrast, losing focus;
  paint (oil, acrylic, maybe watercolor?) too cannot capture our
  climate’s spectral shades, frameless moments, shifting facts;
  language isn’t any better, not very, but if you’ll pardon
  contractions and count them anyhow (allow poetic cheats,
  permit imperfections), my pen is drawn.  I’m ready.  I’ll try.
