First Frame

Untitled (283.432). New York City, 2008. R. Kolewe (click to enlarge).

Poet a.rawlings looked at this photograph by Ralph Kolewe. She wrote:

"The photo's grid is divided into 28 full cells (7 wide by 4 high), which lead me instantly to think of calendar formats. I then calculated the last month of twenty-eight days (February 2009) that began on a Sunday (assuming the calendar starts its left-most column as Sunday). This provided an intuited structure for the resultant text.

The photographed window that reflects, separates, obfuscates provided a generic surface to be "read into" and interpreted by the viewer, which reminded me of the language of horoscopes. So, as I'm the viewer, I sourced daily Virgo horoscopes (my sign!) for February 2009 and harvested sentences that resonated with me. I then cut up the text, resonant with the askew images in the photo. There is nature, you, blank wall as canvas as slate. Here is me, where I am in language currently as I travel and write."

This poem, "You Mirror Mirror," is what resulted.
