Discipline

by Holly Day

the camera changes everything
if you want to see flowers
the tombstones fade away
it can be considered a
discipline
photography or murder
both change
with perspective
if the camera wants to see corpses
the ground falls away
if it wants to see angels
it will find them
chalk lines around the bodies
smudge from novice footprints
trashy newspaper stills
or gallery shots
you decide
