A yellow house with no rust 

A pair of twins saying hello. 

How at once I can see 

both the future and past. 

Bad Florida omen, a swimsuit 

hanging off the dresser. 

Water splotches 

on the back door. An invisible 

hand rubbing sunscreen 

on an invisible back.

Even now I want to photograph 

you 

in the moment of happiness.

I point at the shutter and 

say Here.
