  "Idea" is derived from a Greek work for how a thing looks. A double exposure contains two images in the same frame. Echoing a William Carlos Williams motto, "No ideas but in things," the poetry of Double Exposure frames form and feeling, daughter and father, death and birth, wife and husband, land and sea, flesh and film, moon and sun, outdoors and in, and so much more... and sings.

Stoop


if it is really cold wind hints
rain smells of coffee blow in
from a factory the next town over

wind whips skirts up
bottoms freeze either place
steps or landing grow

numb the longer we sit
cotton underthings don't keep
cold from cutting flesh until

bones become part stone
even when we aren't locked
out we sit on cold

slabs going in is giving in giving in
to other things
I prefer cold
