holding together the different elements
in a photograph
my friend the surrealist takes them apart
and puts them back together
with elements from different photos
so that for instance the bride
prepares to bite down on a shoe
and a bat takes the shape of a heart
and hangs over the whole proceedings
which involve a train crossing a river
on tracks along a skyscraper gone sideways
and people waving and calling and throwing
what may be rice
the sun rises or sets, who can tell
with time frozen this way
but a scarecrow on stilts feeds the crows
and a mother pets her dragon
while somewhere near the camera
a girl sheds a tear
