LESS THAN CANDID CAMERA



Arthur Gottlieb



Nothing in these snapshots

need ever develop.



What once was will never be

again. Smiles stay the same,

your caught on that beach

whose surf is still breaking

��hearts.



Ghosts float from negatives

to my dark room

as I turn back time

on the black pages of the album

in which your pictures are pasted.



We spent that summer

like millionaires

burning hours together

like pocket money

in the sun.



I focus on your face

fogged by the film of years

that exposed ecstasy for a moment

in the instamatic wink

of that now dead day.
