Snapshot - Elixir, Katie Noonan, Stephen Magnusson

I am speaking to you there without

Question when I see last leaves still

Safety pinned to the edges of central park

It is you I note this for

And when I see the colours and feel of clothes

In the heavy glass windows

You are the one I am a camera for

I survey all the faces on 5th avenue

The henna coloured skater with her

Green tutu and sagging chin every day

Ice lit for a smile in the plaza

I go to the cinemas full of lonely singles

To remember dark images for you

And you are the one I am a camera for

In bars and elevators I am coding

Messages receive this please over are you receiving me?

The nights are long I just want to

Speak with somebody, anybody

I toss on the double bed, naked in blankets

Out of reach are you still there?

You are the one I am a camera for
