I used Kodak Gold 200 film on a ‘90s Canon to make this photo; I love that grainy film feeling and the way this film plays soft with light. 🤩📸

Within Reach
by Melanie Faith
It is, indeed,
something
good to be
one and small
Photo courtesy of: film photographer Martí Blesa
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.
