Description i loved her
in this place
in the after.

her lips
indelible on mine
her smallness memorized
into my chest.

goodbye is a
soft dirge
a breathless ache
a solitary ride

until we meet again.

I the composition and the lighting here. 2+ and not a single soul around. Looks like a ghost town for me.

Thank you, Helmy. This one was very special to me. At the time, it felt kind of like a ghost town.
Thanks for the fave too, my friend.

You're welcome Moses. It looks like it's going to be mine as well but it's hard to explain why. I feel like attracted to it the moment I saw it. So why is it yours? Relates to any memorious day I presume.

Indeed. The picture was the aftermath of an afternoon spent with a lovely lady. Getting ready to ride all the way back across town alone.

Wish we had subways in Florida. But then the whole state'd sink.

Ok. I am officially changing the name of this piece to Magnum Opus 329.I am speechless. The poem and photo are excellent. Her lips indelible on mine, what a way to describe a kiss. Goodbye is a soft dirge, Platinum! Comparing the absence for your lover to a mournful composition, this line embodies the definition of romance. The lighting and focus used in this shot is Pure Genius! I'm not worthy.

BitterGrapes In reply to 6-Simplicity-9 [2006-05-20 03:15:10 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! That is really encouraging. I've ridden the L train for years and always wanted to photograph it. Here's an interesting story. Last week, I was going into the subway and I snapped a picture. As I was heading down the stairs, the security said, "You can't take pictures of equipment. You can shoot people, but not equipment." So I was like, "Well, I can't shoot people either unless they want to be shot...what's the deal with not taking pics of equipment?" This sista tells me, "Well we don't know. You could be Taliban."

there aren't trains and buses down here, and hell if the workers even know what the taliban is.

Thank you! This one was kind of a happy accident. I'd just gotten the camera. I'd taken 39 shots of this train car, and this was lucky #40...coincidentally the last one.
