To get a sense of the infinite

waterboys | this is the sea

the way a photographer, when he sets up
a shot of sea or desert out to the edge of the horizon,
has to get something large and close-up into the picture -
a branch, a chair, a boulder, the corner of a house,
to get a sense of the infinite, and he forgets about the sea
and the desert - that’s how i love you.
