flat zen

The homework this week for the Photography Group I'm part of is 'flat-lay'. As its name suggests this genre is devoted to taking overhead pictures of objects laid on a flat surface.

Rather than trying to fit in too many objects I opt for a zen simplicity, complemented by a white background. 

the three crowns

and here we are again

past the crack spoon

dripping 

black moss

onto still silent figures
reflected

in the broken glassed

floors

and doors that 

lead nowhere

but an endless locked circle

the haunting desolation

of dreams etched and fading

across time

the crown has slipped

the sign has flown

but memory

clings fast

to

these decaying walls
