Looks/Snapshots

 
1
 
The gritty mnemonics of a handprint
reveal a life.
 
What life?
 
 
2
 
After the rain        puddles
 
capture            looks      snapshots
intensities.
 
You’re easy to forget
 
easier when I want to believe you’re not real.
 
        Because I’m compelled to
I prise open          the knotty appendages of undergrowth
 
that enclose us
nightly.
