220 AMPs

welding coil gristle, caked upon the hull,

fluxen rods and leather burn, with the metal’s call.

rolling back a sleeve, shining ember knife

the fiber-optic nomad splits a molten pipe.

inner ear-drum wafers shatter in the scream;

as bended knees and grinding discs shave the steel so

clean.

sandwiched like a membrane, the surface glows in gray;

while grounding clamps groan slightly, as the circuit

makes its stay.

Two hundred twenty amps of fire,

pumped in nano-rhythmic time-

Compounds fuse in waltzing blitz

and now the bead declines.

the physics lay a dreamscape for minds that pulse in waves

while pirates stoke their sails, in search of golden

graves.

Goletaville-Day 13 and Thoughts on Photography by Ernst Haas

Some thoughts on the philosophy of photography by Ernst Haas:

"If truth is what we believe to be true, then every period, every culture has created its own truth, which has always been deeply rooted in man's concept of the reason for existence. But in extreme situations, such as pain, love or joy, man reaches from the narrower fact of truth into the broader dimensions of poetry to express better all that he feels, sees, and believes.

William Blake saw 'the world in a grain of sand.' It can be seen in many such things, for in the smallest cells are reflections of the largest. And in photography, through an interplay of scales, a whole universe within a universe can be revealed."
