evidence of her sitting there

I can’t tell you 
make and model

but i can say
she caught my eye
as i walked by on 6th street

and in the second 
of that glance
i chose to stop 

fearing the chance she would be gone

next time 

“The camera should be used for a recording of life, for rendering the very substance and quintessence of the thing itself, whether it be polished steel or palpitating flesh.” ~Edward Weston
