Taking your face
Click on photo to enlarge
[continuing the discussion here and here and here]
In the hundred-odd photos from yesterday
I find and finger your face
Here it is creased with smile
and here – just a second later –
the curves straighten
as you look at me
not liking to be snapped
Here is your characteristic thoughtful pose
tugging at your beard
and here, here for a moment
is your utterly open and vulnerable face
the one you didn’t want me
to catch
and take home to look at.

Fascinating discussion! And I love the poem. But, ummm...what is this unusual flower that I've never seen before??
