Flutter
By Jazelle Handoush
Flutter flutter. Flutter flutter.
Thrive in darkness. Find solace in it. Survive.
The stars are a path towards home. An unknown.
Flutter flutter.
All is night.
Flicker flickk.
A dazzle in this space. For an instant only. The brightest, even beyond the unreachable moon.
Flutter flutter…Flicker.
Again. Stunningly in shines. Almost longer, the light.
Flutter. Closer. Reaching closer still. But unknown.
Spots cover the gaze. Blinded by it. Was it here? Or farther still?
Flutter. Flick.
Beyond the brightest star, morning’s sun, it shines. But no on again, off again.
It remains.
It burns.
The single hope in the lone of the night.
It kills.
Flut—.
Lamp’s light. A stricken death.
Flicker.

I'm seriously loving this picture. Did you do it yourself?
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't, unfortunately. The photographer/artist's name is Megan Kennedy. Her work is generally pretty dark, but she's also really metaphoric about her stuff. She actually has a talent of taking other people's photos and changing them completely by adding stock components (the original photo was just the girl, she added the lantern and moths).
