"The Motion of Pictures" by Chinaza




Let’s talk about blurred pictures

Steaming cups of coffee now mud foggy

Brown and white dots brushed into one

Let’s talk about the artistry

Colors moving into one another

On the wall are features of the face

Melanin skin flying into space

Let’s talk about the action

Memories running from capture

Moments escaping immortality

Let’s walk with blurred pictures

And hold their ghost like hands

And embrace their evasive selves

Let’s walk with the photographer

And watch their shaking hands

And learn how nervous they were
