When
Graphite and paper
Become one fluid
Concrete hand-print mold
Of a heartbeat
Or two—
I am blessed
With a photograph
—or something as honest
as a picture anyway—
Developed by the crimson Christian honor
Of your Polaroid pocket,
And accidently hung with clothespins
On the trees
That shuffled up to the sidewalk
As we walked by.

I ought to start a blog just for poetry, but anyway-- the one above is one I wrote in Phonology.
