In Another Life

In Another Life

In another life,

we could feed each other apple slices

beneath the laurel trees

and talk of the times

we snuck out to swim in the icy river

behind the Johnson’s old barn.

Unabated and free.

In another life,

we could fuck under a sky of proposals

studded in diamonds

and kiss until it meant something.

But in this life,

I calmly wrap you up and put you to bed in my sadistic lie.

Do I hurt you with each passing day?

Unaware that I don’t love you.

Unaware that only in another life we would work.

The Portrait Assignment

Nachtwey the Photojournalist

 

Just to follow up with the Still Photographs, the above picture is from a collection known as "Witness" by photojournalist James Nachtwey. You can find his collection at http://www.jamesnachtwey.com/ and I've also put a link to it under my "favorite links" on the right hand side of this blog. Certainly, taking any photos after viewing his powerful work was intimidating. I made the mistake of studying his collection alone when I wasn't in a particularly cheery mood to begin with. His words are compassionate and his work is courageous.

"I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated." - James Nachtwey
