Might I love myself better by being honest

Shining light on my deep, hidden truth

Walking through memories, those of my fondest

Greeting each vision as photo finish proof

~

Praise myself for permitting recapture

Developing the film, giving it a frame

No picture is at risk of overexposure

I've wiped off the lens, given it my name

~

Clearer eyes pose a different angle

A closer look at background shadows

My alter ego, a grey space entangle

Who dodges noon for pre-dawn meadows

~

Click, click, click, how the camera shutters

Love of light and shadow, the fine print utters
