photographer of the broken

By Joe Bisicchia

a moment ago                             from now
shall be as two thousand years
 
a moment ahead           from now
            shall be countless more
 
for time knows no shutter speed
 
except the moment now
 
every moment             speaks
 
they      all      say         to me
veronica         such      wonder
like words                     upon words
                            no words
 
just grace       I simply say this--
 
upon my rags fixed
let Who I see       be
 
no matter the distance
 
piece by piece
by the peace You leave
 
You stay
 
a face always in place

Editorial note:
One of the meanings of the name Veronica is 'true image', as derived from the Latin word vera ('true') and the Greek word eikon ('image').
