fresh tracks
real life
eschewing, what’s not, to be
seen, as
heaven, on earth?
(for wordpress weekly photo challenge – fresh)

fifteen minutes, is
a lifetime
or
a just, a few
minutes?
(for wordpress weekly photo challenge – wall)

do you remember how it felt in november
never a thought given to being a member
of that, most exclusive, club
can you remember, oh that is the rub
eventually, when you think it may
soon be time, to
pay

*shot with nikon d700 with nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens, edited using adobe bridge, photoshop cc and analog efex pro2 with wet plate and double exposure filters applied, not a second to lose*

weaving, back and
forth
his memories clashed
coalesced
the smell of those sneakers
melded and
left him
remembering, how once he knew
where he
fit

why’re we
here, he
thought
trapped, in a web of
our own
making, or
had he fallen, and
changed into,
what?

Sitting up, his eyes
excoriated by
the searing light,
he remembered
more.
A shout, just before he tripped, the barking, of
his dog.
And now,
now,
he was trapped, tied,
as tightly, as if by
wire.

He was,
The memory of the sneakers fading, as the footsteps passed over head. Haunted by the thought of, the chair. Nestling in the lap of, his master, or was the lap…
…his

said,
and done,
there is always, someone worse
off.
