on real film
particles of light
reside in the silver
transfer to image
freezing time
on the trek from end to end
your smile, that day
your eyes sharply focused
the horizon stretched
on forever
without touch, a photo
fails to convey
the full effect on our hearts
love had had
Chagall 2018
“Love had had” — you could end it there.
True. Actually, that works as a 3-word poem in and of itself: “Love had had.”
Reworked the ending as per your suggestion. —CC 🙂
