Beautiful




















flashes of stark raving vulnerability
pulse through my plastic view-finder

face in warm sunlight, I see
delicate inter-twists of faith
weave through random frames,
someone touches me and they are

good god, oh, so beautiful

and my bumbling turbulent social intercourse
makes for good-hearted track laughter
all coming

at the expense
of a tender outreach

this bird's existence
is no longer
the ugly butt of a beautiful joke

the click-click of the view-finder's whisper glimpse -

a future glow, 
caterpillars and butterflies,
click click

my self 
now reaching, making something 
beautiful become of

click click


me

  10. The clicks made this poem for me, especially the final pair clipping "me" saving it for the last line all on its own.
