Negatives by *beigegray:iconbeigegray:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


I trace the edges,
Attempting to delay the rapid color-development
Of tangible memories
Sold in tens or twenty-sevens.

I won’t smudge—
To ruin is to sin.
For with the winter,
This dies too.

For my sake,
I hope heaven has a darkroom.

Author's Comments

Finally, something!

I was recently informed that most major chain stores are going to stop developing film. The same goes for the sale of Polaroid film. I do not like this. Not one bit.

Feedback would be adored :heart:

Thank you so much for the DD. I never thought this piece that was just thought up in the car and written rather rapidly would attain any sort of literary accolade. But thank you. <3

And I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep.
