Of Poets & Other Abandoned Things: Day 14

Day 14

So these pictures were take at an abandoned house by Rubben Mabuku.
He's a strictly black and white photographer and he told me that he doesn't do photo shoots, he does concept shoots.
He wanted to capture me as a poet and he prefers picking places still in construction because of the varying textures but I had different ideas for the location. 
When I got the pictures back, they did what he's out here to do - they inspired me, gave me a concept to work with because yes, sometimes my poetry is happy and is for the purpose of healing.
But sometimes we have to fall apart before we can start again.

They thought they knew her.
As if the outline of a shadow dictates it's owner.
You think that just because you see something, you understand it.
But you don't, you probably never will.
