Silent Talkies

Walking the city,

camera in hand,

focus here,

multiple clicks there,

videos flowing subtleties, 

images en masse filling the head in silence.

Later…  

Afternoon light

reflects gently into the sanctuary

giving movement across 

collage-walls,

montaged-moving pictures,

captured company surrounding him,

showing appreciating for neighbors,

respecting pedestrians passed,

revering buildings framed.

The studio space stays alive,

As a window is shuttered,

a door locked,

a laptop kept ever awake,

a printer,

a chair,

the bed.

Eagerly

With modest glass of Gallo as companion,

The photographer toasts them all,

smiles in thanks,

sits and celebrates the special aloneness

only one who is deaf can appreciate.
