Photo Opportunity Chris Tysh

Not exactly burning, the room she slept in suggested tears as if only a few seconds ago there had been someone, stepping in from the street about to extinguish his cigarette, maybe reach down into her old wicker trunk of opulent phantasies, a red light impossible to photograph. Look this way, please. Better move the cat and drop the pretense. Coffee stains color a silverprint commissioned by absence. You know the unsorted bric à brac of pet owners, early school morning light in mesh with same. She reshoots it, down to the last space between chair and table. Pale enough to summon a taxi, then slip the telling. It would always derange, a narrow angle of blame. from Continuity Girl, United Artists Books, 2000
