Selections from
REISSUES, NEW ISSUES

"Camera Wise, and Camera Shy"

The shutter clicks,
     the daily picks of life
          go on.

The shutter speeds,
     our life recedes

A few numbered shots remain,
     before the final pain.

We think a new roll of film
     will feed that shutter
To keep it clicking,
     and our hearts still ticking.

Click, click,
But look,
The new film has been developing
     all along,
What is and what seems,
     as in our dreams.

Click, click,
The mind's eye opens,
And with no word spoken

The eye of the beholder,
     older and bolder,
Steps to the picture,
     steps into the frame.

Eyes close,
     the shutter clicks no more.
Shudder, shudder,
     click, click

               What is on the horizon?
Our songs,
          so long.
