Samson follows Goliath; A Panoramic
#1
Revision#2

Samson follows Goliath;
       A Panoramic


 
She, just resting her eyes,
leans her head on my shoulder and
falls asleep. I try prodding
a gentle elbow
to the ribs
but she snores
turns over and dreams of
the ikat padding
tattered behind her.
Leaving me weary
but unsleeping
don’t want to miss
our destination as
Samson follows Goliath
climbing through fogged window
the sun rising at their backs
behemoths of the skyline
craning their necks to catch
a glimpse of us Kodak faced.
I’ve captured their likeness
with every little trip,
she’s seen them before,
scrolling through
thumbed holiday snaps and
said time and time again,
“wud like t’s’em me sen,”
but come tomorrow
it’ll be back to
thumbed photographs
again.

resting her eyes,

the sun rising at their backs
behemoths of the skyline-

Original

Samson follows Goliath;
       A Panoramic


 
She, just
resting her eyes,
leans her head
on my shoulder and
falls asleep
ever so quickly —
I try prodding
a gentle elbow
to the ribs
but she snores noisily
turns over and dreams of
the ikat padding
tattered behind her...
Leaving me weary
but unsleeping
don’t want to miss
our destination as
 Samson follows Goliath
climbing through fogged window
the sun rising at their backs
behemoths of the skyline-
I’ve captured their likeness
with every little trip,
she’s seen them before,
scrolling through
thumbed holiday snaps and
said time and time again
“wud like t’s’em me sen”
but come tomorrow
it’ll be back to
thumbed photographs
again.
