Street Inside a Viewfinder

A scene-led poem about photography and the details that first bring it near.

Morning opened at the street inside a viewfinder. A shutter kept one fraction of afternoon. Window light found the face before the pose did. This was how Photography entered: without announcement, carrying the knowledge that attention can rescue a moment from vanishing.
