i. Atmospheric potential accumulates like seeds of static pilling the air ( piling in ) ...or rainclouds. we are a child's game, a dream the impossible calm of a dawn sea ( when reflections hide the depth beneath. ) ii. And a thought later we're bare and down breathing and twisting and trusting and keen but gently, softly, sweetly —and blue-hot at the seams. We're tentative, tasting, sensuous, stealing, instincts and promises and quiet choice we're liquid and slipping and tricky time, ticking, gasping out rhythms in honeyed voices; iii. we are overwhelmed by eyes— we are the bedsheets and second tries, we're calmness past the boiling point, we lie intense, or laughing at the flip of coins we are light and careless vowing solemnly, earnest, at ease we're lucidly foolish and trembling reciprocity we are the languor that has settled deep into bones the lack of shame that sticks to our clothes ( in lieu of our sweat ) we are the wise returning to innocence we are the learning, the prayers sent, the waiting, the begging— and the rich men. |

The photonotes.org Dictionary of Film and Digital Photography is one place to stop and get it all answered. This is quite a valuable resource that explains in depth what a photography term means, and will help those understand who might not know what something is. |
