Poetry: On A Photograph by Mimi
by S. M. Hutton

Purchased on the eve of
disease in black and white
geometry: a dry Central Park
drinking fountain
viewed from overhead
as in the guise of bird or
God.
Face thrust into a sunbeam
(skewed from the internal shadow)
which illuminates across
the frame and
reveals motes rushing
flickering bright,
normal,
out—
scintilla novas known
like the dark side of
the moon, there
though unseen.
At first glance
none yet has guessed
the concrete subject.
