photo/opp/missed

i took pictures of you at twilight.

three different cameras,

with one exposure left.

i felt secure,

with no battery life left for flash,

i could remember you

through half open eyelids.

i found myself in silent weeps,

after each advancement of the roll.

i knew that those pictures

would never develop.

all along, i knew

i was only capable of remembering you in the sunlight.
