Clear as day

We take it for granted

what the magnifying glass exposes

and every window conveys

what isn't there

and we look

right passed

Water and air

they all take on

light and shade

from the atmosphere

the visual silence

the space

the empty

that drowns us

what Mozart said

or Debussy echoed

and Picasso in respect

put his brush away

while old Monet

closed a tired eye

and slaved

it was clear

from the beginning

to the end

there was nothing

except ....

the lens
