Instantaneous

I look up,
straight into your eyes,
and in a single breathtaking instant
the world slides into focus.

Something in my heart goes
--click--
The shutter opens.

I fall in love.

Sunlight falls on silver nitrate paper,
sudden, silent,
and, I find,
completely
irrevocable.


The first of my poems to result in a cash return--it actually won a prize I need a better title.
