darkroom ghosts from transfigure eighteen by Asher White

photo snaps no wait / weight
new exposure, stained place / same place / stay in place
i just had to look away
my screen cracked
broke my finger

i’m overwritten
in underpass
wheels fly above me
chasing distant past
all reconfigured
kicking broken glass
hundred shattered phones
overheating fast

& now i’m frozen at the dentist
push my temples raw
the woman asks for my attention
to see the inside of my jaw

i love the photos that get pale in the light
& i love the haunting of failing eyes

negatives are hung around
& jesse is melting figures down
to overwrite what’s inside

but you can see the eyes peek through
