Dialation


I pull back from the lens

and hold up my own reality

I lean in to look through

and I see me

Is it I?

do you need more light

should i dialate you eyes? can you see now? 

Look with your eyes

without these nice clothes

without perfection

without my reputation

without the fear of the world's perception.

Now snap the picture

It IS I

my own reality

I am what I am

that's authenticity
