Afraid of heights and been here twice
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
Children climb a castle in the sky
A storybook hike
Must be interesting to be so beautiful behind a camera
How difficult it must be to capture something more beautiful than she who is capturing
The camera only sees skin deep.
But she
Sees deeper
Aims to capture something that points deeper.
Use imagery to point at something beyond imagery
Isn’t that the point of artistry?
That and expressing?
Point and shoot.
Basic training for a range of machinery
Weapons and cameras both only see skin deep
Which is more revealing?
Exposing?
Must be interesting to be so violent behind a cannon
Which causes more damage?
Before the camera comes in and points at the wreckage.
Looking down on a city from a castle in the sky.
In chess castling protects the king
The queen is left to fend for herself
So powerful she needs no help
Were it not for the board she’d be gone for sure
Free from this war
off in nature.
But alas,
The rules were made by kings
Kings uncomfortable with her being too far.
“8 x 8 squares is plenty dear,
I’ll see you at supper.”
Am I caging her?
The love I know knows no bounds.
My human form is more...
Square.
She’s sitting atop a ledge
Inching closer to her clouds
Been here before but not quite,
Right?
She’s been here twice.
Aren’t we all just prisoners here
Of our own device?

Poem written while at the castle, then shared with @gentlexplorer , then she takes photos in that energy.
All photos by her (except the last one I snuck of her while I was writing)
