Life of a Leaf
Michelle Vela Mar 2018
At a red light
a magenta bougainvillea leaf floats
gracefully through the air,
drifting between the rigid gray toned creations of man,
slowly settling onto the concrete road
as it awaits
the trampling of rubber tires,
with no sympathy.

Exposure
Michelle Vela Feb 2018
sometimes I feel as if I am photo sensitive paper
the world leaves imprints of images
exposing a narrative that attaches itself to me
as a string of memories in a darkroom  
where light enters and creates the shape of my identity

Michelle Vela Feb 2018
it's not loud and abrasive and in your face,
it holds a mystery, carved by shadows and light,
powerful in its subtly
