SAY CHEESE
I crouch behind the Superior coffee truck
feet posed in the dirty alley.
I stumble, hand calluses pavement.
My other hand catches my camera
the blind eye through which I see
and you come into vision.
I focus my lens,
pixels of your face clear.
I can even see inside pores
larger than life.
Chestnut hair frames your stone face,
stubble just enough to be stylish
mud brown eyes
I’ve brought you from shadows to fame
who needs privacy
and you were so trusting, the first photo shoots
had a crease of a real smile
teeth diamond mines
open the vein
you thought it would never change.
Pick me up out of the gutter, dust me off.
Add to my portfolio.
I’ve carried you
put your head under water
in the oven, slit your neck
I’ll be there until the bitter end
clicking away.
You are born through my lens
placenta the blood splattered on the pavement
now you are whole.
After Satan negotiates a pact with God and unleashes his army of demons, a secret sect battles a diabolical prophecy that threatens humanity.
