summer red dress, photosnapping a rabble of human butterflies, swirling.
"Miss Marriwhether, Miss
Marriwhether" -- a voice calls her name, distracting her attempts at meticulous composition, at capturing this kaleidoscope of bodies (their oblivious eyes just so, darting, their wayward wings just so, flitting).
"Miss Marriwhether, Miss
Marriwhether" -- a voice calls her name, distracting her, but not me, drawn to her meticulous composition.
I see (visioning her, radiant in summer red dress, swirling) that it is not a rabble of butterflies she has captured but me.
Does she see (perhaps no, perhaps yes) that it is not a kaleidoscope of bodies who are pretty as a picture but she. © 2014 Jim Hahn |
