I keep the yesterdays

for  the sake of  this photo 
every moment is surrender 
for I am hungry and take
too many--yet each echo
                                         remains and ruins
                                        exits and evades 
                                        any capture while
                                        I, a wakeful 
                                        fading hunter 
unbearably full of bravado 
persist--if only I could focus 
on edging meaning with light
I'd see how visions can return
                                        in the breaks
                                        from seeing--
                                        stitching up 
                                        our aging nows 
                                        into aching forevers

Pic: Yes, I did take way too many photos of the sunset yesterday.
