Ekphrastic Magic Project 📸📓

Super excited to have a poem I wrote in a fantastic project, “Ekphrastic Magic," a photography and poem collaboration, this summer. It is part of an international photo festival in Barcelona, Spain!

Many thanks to the amazingly talented Amy Jasek at Film Shooters Collective for the artistic camaraderie, for her vision and hard work in putting this project together, and for the wonderful invitation to take part.

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.
