His eyes tell the story
Captured in the ephemeral emulsion
Of the digital image
Silently, knowingly
Speaking
Of the things he cannot discuss
Will not share
Of a life in frenetic motion
Pushing down unuttered demons
Mystery and intrigue
Of a life on the razor’s edge
8/4/05 10:13am – Musings on a just departed friend, caught in suspended animation.
(Raymond A. Foss)
