Water frame
Abbas Panakkal
A clumsy camera
made a room for
an old arm chair and
came to see arranged shots.
Wild smartness of
the morning light
focused over late awakening.
Two children,
floated over an empty glass,
were playing on the debris of the light.
Burning sharpness
of mid-day wounded all close-ups.
Mourning memories of
dwarf shadows
alleviated in wide over
view of long evening shades.
Lit lanterns
lamented over dusky time.
High angle shots
crossed black wick flames.
Paid females
paused as directed,
with unfading familiarities.
Shadows floated on
the water were more beautiful.
The camera focused on
artistic values of water shadows.
Colourful pleasure of
Shadows slapped on face.
Rolling study cam-coder
took an endeavor to read
the identity of watermarks.
