Maria The Leper Lady Shot By Nerjis Asif Shakir 14 Month Old, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
I held the camera while Nerjis took this shot and whatever the outcome .. she bought to life the dark world of Maria the Leper lady ..
even in the soul
of darkness
lies a spectral
glow..cosmic
fate does not
show ,,but
god within
the eyes of
a child knows
a poetic pause
as it clambers
grows..shot
by a 14 month
old child..a
moment morbid
morose ..
encapsulating
text-less prose
maria the leper
lady silent
foreboding
doomed
tattered
clothes
eyeless
sockets
leprous
nose
held her
pose
a trampled
rose ..
as the
image
held in the
palm of this
child instantly
froze ..
what came first the camera or the vision a thought imposed ....giving birth to a photo...
