Camera Obscura by Peycho Kanev
Camera Obscura
by Peycho Kanev
Light, please initiate me into your
occult philosophy. Tell me where
you come from when you penetrate
a dusty window in the morning and
find me staring into the nothingness.
Sometimes you show me very beautiful
things, and I try to comprehend.
Like a pair of beautiful female legs
semi-concealed in the twilight of
your brightly absence. How many stories
do we need so this moment could be
remembered forever
The others have old photo albums.
The others have skies to cry beneath them.
But you can find me thoughtful,
staring into the darkness of this page.
