Snapshot
cropped photograph--
leaving my shadow
on the darkroom floor
from the bottom of the tray
your smile slowly develops
pulling me closer
in front of the camera . . .
first date
pinned
on the bulletin board
your snapshot
a roll of negatives . . .
the brightness of your dark eyes
self-timer
I join you
in the photograph
