the (un) hours

everyone’s in love taken with a vintage sx70 polaroid camera, expired film

ee cummings said a poet is somebody to whom things made matter very little ~ rather a poet is obsessed with the making. It is a ‘soft growing’ day and all the more resplendent for that, where the unhours (priceless ignoring of clocks) of a perfect morning are intimately obsessed with various makings. The making of wandering through the market (cheese and bagels and beautiful raspberrie jam for breakfast) ~ the making of many oooooooh’s! and ahhhhhh’s with colorful costumed market flowers (perfumed noise of thrillingness) And the making of a flute (hushingly, fingers reaching) and radiance (morning coffee adrift laptops in cafe) And pigeons and immense laughter with crinkling eyes (of course) wearing favorite scarves ~ Oh, and the making of a love affair with trains ~ but that I shall save to share with you for another day as I race out into the bidding sunshine (to begin all over once again.)
