The Retired Street Photographer

The Retired Street Photographer, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

i am
depressingly
sick and tired
of shooting
the same
things
over and over
again..seasonal
driving me
psychotically
insane
i am held
to my cosmic
camera like
a dog on a
rusty chain
i come back
the same
place where
i am held
my poetic
pictorial pain
on the emulsion
of the memory
card of life
is what remains
diminishing
vision my eye strain
what i had what i
lost i do not wish
to regain..

shooting
the footsteps
of jesus
the chariot
of ganesha
the motherly
stance of gauri
the visarjan
of durga
through
the windowpane

on 10 day
of ashura
40 day of
chehlum
i become
one with
hussain
humility
humanity
on the
window
screen
of my
cosmic
brain
