A POEM TO DIGITAL IMAGERY

Note: In twilight pixels change back and forth from color to darker color as the sky fades and as I frame the scene for my next shot on the LCD screen of my digital camera.

---"I often think the night is more alive and more richly coloured than the day." Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo Letter 533, Arles, 8 September 1888

REAL TIME
On the edge of darkness
I have seen the twilight sky
do it's digital dance
in real time --
pixels pulsing from
cerulean blue to black
on my LCD screen --
vanGogh's deepest colors
outside his cafe in the evening
or his starry starry night
