To live a long time
we work at doing little
and look at the trees.
So simple the day
slices of toast at bedtime
seem like a solace

Muted Mutations / The Photography of Stasja Voluti
on three photographs by
Stasja Voluti
aqueous light
of ambergris submerges
the man’s downcast and
bearded face
he sleepwalks in its
mutable saffron folds
an ancient waiting of
the just before
or the still holding just
after
