Remember that self-portrait
you took up at Lometa

with the old Olympus
held at arm’s length?

You’ve got a beard
and you’re not smiling.

I try to read your face,
are you angry or only serious?

I look into your eyes
and pretend you can see me too.

Remember that self-portrait?

You took it up at Lometa



with the old Olympus

held at arm’s length



you’ve got a beard

and you’re not smiling.



I try to read your face,

are you angry or just serious?



I look into your eyes

and pretend you can see me too.











Again I gaze at your half-dark self-portrait 



pinned to the wall above my computer







you took it with that old Olympus



held at arm’s length







you’ve grown a beard



and you’re not smiling







I always try to read your stern face,



are you angry?







I look into your eyes



and pretend you can see me too.























I stare at a half-dark picture of you







you took it yourself



with that old Olympus film camera







you have a beard



and you’re not smiling







I try to read your face,



you look almost angry.







When I look into your eyes



I pretend you can see me too.
