Double Echo - Darkroom

A love of observations
Of moving myriad faces
Patterns of indolent cries
Lie beside the camera's eye

Shifting tides and motions
Will sway her encrustations
A smile always stayed the same
Burning silence frame by frame

"So strange in the light", she says
So far from these eyes again
Patterns of indolent cries
Will spin within the camera's eye

Illusion is it's faceless eye
Warmed only by the light, she cries
A smile always stayed the same
Fascination, frame by frame

Mannequins from the blind streets
Wonder in from the pouring rain

Shaking hands will tear the pages
Of the image of herself remade
Patterns of indolent cries
Scream into the camera's eye

A lifeless age, a tired place
Swells inside her painted face
A smile always stayed the same
Permanent grey, frame by frame
