H-K212

Near the wall of a house painted
to look like stone,
I saw visions of God.

A sleepless night that gives others a headache
gave me flowers
opening beautifully inside my brain.

And he who was lost like a dog
will be found like a human being
and brought back home again.

Love is not the last room: there are others
after it, the whole length of the corridor
that has no end.

(Yehuda Amichai)

    i adore these words:

    A sleepless night that gives others a headache
    gave me flowers
    opening beautifully inside my brain.

    can totally relate

    And he who was lost like a dog
    will be found like a human being
    and brought back home again.

    and do hold this promise!!
    ♥t

  • hsien-ku replied

    thankyou gabryshak!
    those lines give me goosebumps:
    “And he who was lost like a dog
    will be found like a human being
    and brought back home again.”
    A promise to cling to, like you say

    amazing – he looks like what I think a Gypsy would look like….. he has a certain rough elegance about him… and a lot of self-assurance. This is just marvelous, I mean, that atrium, his white hat, all the play between dark and light…. and the poem caused my heart to stop and then flood open, so beautiful, Judith.

  • hsien-ku replied

    thankyou anne – such wonderful compliments in your comment, i hardly know how to respond. very grateful.

    great stuff, used a flash?

    thanks xavier – no flash, with my canon the flash seems to strip out all the tone so i avoid using it where possible. the shot was actually a lot lighter but i increased the gamma in postproduction.

    Is this man relaxing or brooding in this strange greenhouse? Your picture poses a teasing question and refuses to do more than that, which is why the picture is so intriguing and starkly appealing. I love this kind of seemingly harsh but actually very humane imagery. The ambiguity just heightens the interest. Fine work.
