Recently, I have been collaborating creatively with the poet, Kit Kelen. I have been posting photographs and Kit has been writing poems to accompany my photographs. Seeing poetry and photography collectively, as opposed to singularly is a journey into a new creative landscape.
Over coming days I will post a small random selection of Kit’s poems. You can also visit this link and below to view Kit’s blog for this project titled 365+1. You’ll find a plethora of great poetry and art from other contributors.
Kit Kelen – Series with Jack Picone’s Photographs – #14 – the fire at dawn, the waiting
14
the fire at dawn, the waiting
is it the bones show through?
is it the where-they-are waking?
so sombre silent still
as if the sky were nothing
as if they were earth already
they compose themselves
for eternity’s frame
have they fallen from great heights to here?
are they stones sprung up in flesh?
I ask because
I just don’t know
what any of this means
