Ansel Adams, to Patsy English

Cara Losier Chanoine

You and I
in the mountains,
are the same in all the ways
that are seductive.

At home, Virginia
tends to rosemary and basil,
coaxing life from earth.
I send her
no photographs from this trip,
worried that she might see
you in the chiaroscuro
of the sharp mountain ridge
against the pewter sky.

We make love standing,
your back grating against
calico stone
so that you can see the skyline
over my shoulder;
through your eyes, purple,
orange, blue,
and in photograph, only shades of gray.

You are already black and white,
dark hair and eyes
against skin like dandelion milk.
Your resolution is too great for film
and lens.
