First Look
for Rebecca Draisey

alter the down you fall
alter the down you feel

uplift wherever you are, whoever you are with
your wit, nothing more to do it with
add color to wit, add color to it

snapshots of what cannot be captured
for you to behold, to hold, to look at
with what are we to capture soul

Oliver Twist as well as Charles Dickens
as well as George Orwell

all three wearing shoes
soles worn down

down and out in Paris and London
soles with holes
