Woman mourning, Brentwood Street, Portland: photo by Austin Granger, 3 April 2012
Emotional
distance between viewer
and screen growing
and screen growing
ever greater, the coldness
of the space
intervening ever deeper,
the mourning
all that's lost
more remote
and diluted
and diluted
with each minute
and second
that goes by
and second
that goes by
