PICTURING

Looking… sometimes seeing… every-now-and-then finding

something unexpected, something unknown

until the moment of finding…

nothing as poetic as denoument…

surprise, yes!

not like the lotus blossoms

so beautiful they challenge the picture taker,

but those don’t last… not like

the seed pods extraordinary,

(some who don't understand these things

might say ugly ordinary),

with their promise of more next season.

What I found was a kindred spirit

in a village shop close by my place.

The photo du jour:  a crushed plastic water bottle…

a metaphor.
