I Film To

I FILM TO
SUCKLE the sun
THREAD the light that needles my eye
SEEK harmony with disparate elements
WEAVE metal and flesh
EXPOSE emulsion as a means to a beginning
COLOR a fresh and tangible mystery realized on the retina
CARVE a hysterically satoric portrait in silver
TASTE halides with my hands
PROCESS alchemical gestures
DEVELOP an antidote for a frenetically engineered world
CULTIVATE an authentic vision beyond TV’s myopic glare
COMPOSE time in the medium of light
mEDITate and DANCE with stillness
MASSAGE and MONTAGE my soul
FRAME a novel posture for my heart
