The Great Escape
Photography has always been a great escape.
An excuse to hide in plain sight.
In the room, yet removed.
For safety, art, or ego.
I reach for the lens as a way out.
Yet it keeps showing me the way in.
A pocket of light.
A breath with the sun.
A moment with a stranger.
The escape backfires into presence.
And in trying to leave, I learn how to arrive.
