getting it there

On a phrase by Keikei & for her

A Keikei sun snap

in staging
that trick
photo
of the sun
as if carried
by us
before us
in our hands
unburning,
she said love
was like that;
getting the sun
in the right place,
something warm
between us,
joined to it
in touch,
weighed
in the hands
the near &
bright in
distance
you share

Getting it there, first steps
