PHOTOGRAPHY – Charlie Speck

Beautiful photographic studies of the outdoors in black and white.

She was not like unwitting prey,
That had never sighted the lion;
She fled from him, knowing
As she did what it meant…

i’d put stickers all over the moon
and hang it from the ceiling
in the living room

sunshine snacked on
a little
morning

Brown girl: you don’t get a plot twist. Your story’s been penned
with strokes as hollow as they are spiteful
