Old glass lens in the heavy dew
Where the wild *Sorghum* grows anew
Resting near the iron rail
Underneath a vapor veil
Hold the frame and hold the light
Keep the image sharp and bright
Wait for chemistry to bloom
In the rail yard's misty room
Copper wires and a leather strap
Caught within a bramble trap
*Taraxacum* yellow gold
Watching as the day turns cold
Hold the frame and hold the light
Keep the image sharp and bright
Wait for chemistry to bloom
In the rail yard's misty room
Metal gears in a rusted hold
Stories that the peat will fold
Silver salts in a darkened shell
Deep inside a garden well
Hold the frame and hold the light
Keep the image sharp and bright
Wait for chemistry to bloom
In the rail yard's misty room
Patience grows like a steady root
Bearing heavy winter fruit
Wait for the shutter to click fast
Making every moment last
Hold the frame and hold the light
Keep the image sharp and bright
Wait for chemistry to bloom
In the rail yard's misty room
Silver nitrate soil
Silver nitrate soil
