from Venezia to Maribor
                            (marko abstract)

Can I take Your Picture?

Now, while no one listens
cosset
these words for a moment.

Believe
each one enormous
and large as life.

Off they go
to capture what each instant is
in each flash-pop-snap shot

when everyone turns to,
or from
the frozen moment
in their own way

which,
like a bird,
flies away.
