I’m thrilled to announce that a poem I wrote, “Within Reach,” based on a fantastic photograph by talented film photographer Martí Blesa was published today as part of Film Shooters Collective’s NATIONAL POETRY MONTH, DAY 5.

Within Reach
by Melanie Faith

It is, indeed,
something

good to be
one and small

of many who are
one and small.

It is, indeed,
filled

with gray
potential,

elemental
to advance

in ordinary sandals
against cement.

More and more
rectangles

await our future.
Stacked lenses

mirrored,
so when we wave—

that pleasant
pain bloomed

there in the back
of the neck—

we wave back
looking up.
