The camera
Was a window of opportunity
The lenses had mixed feelings like drama
The buttons beckoning to fiddle with as I take my picture
The annoying whirring when it says that it’s low on battery.

The glimmering lenses kept safe in a case with cosy foam
The blinding flash of shining light from the camera
The tripod about to fall with your precious camera.
The crystallised screen polished in resin.
