Understand, please, the eternal question is the same
regardless what you hope the truth to be
a question hangs in the cold dry air
between us:

Is it enough to snap the picture
to capture a single moment
in a single frame
for all time until tomorrow?

Or must art be revealed
to a single seeing eyeball
in a conscious frame
for all time until death?

I do not know, the tree has fallen
and no one was there but me.
