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
