frozen instances

photos freeze an instance

never again will any be the same

something will be different

the footsteps in wet sand on a beach

will wash away, but in a photo, they

remain impressed forever

 

life is a photo, you only have

one perfect shot, one perfect

frame, one perfect instance

 

a perfect moment that defines

all other instances

an instance that

all other moments are judged by

a moment that

all other instances exist for

an existence for only that

one moment that causes purpose

 

you’re the instance that other moments

live for in my photo… where are you?
