Beetlebung and Kettlehole--April Poems

Nothing about You

nothing about you,
no flash, since you’re off focus
snapping shots
of waves upon rocks
seagull wings dripping brine
butterfly-shaped acacia flowers
as white as snow lines on mountains

nothing about you
only gales scattering leaves
like orange-colored lanterns
on nights your camera
goes after a rare moon
opening its shutter
with harmonic clicks

nothing about you
this orbit-stirred chorus
all terra’s textures
its caress of life
urging you to obsess
in making ghosts out of everything
with lens you can’t control

Prompt: nothing about you
