Photos & Words | Waiting

Posing, waving, smiling.

Erotic, frantic, wild.

Child, girl, woman.

Growing with an emptiness,

A piercing black hole between my lungs;

Arching for air, blood and core.

Lost, a wanderer of thoughts,

Carved in the shape of a waiting myth;

Born to please, to ease, to fulfill...others.

Never myself.

Oh, never me.

Silly little me.

I would wait in the street.

Praying to be picked.

Hiding from the slapping I would get if not.

In place.

Unmoving.

Quivering.

 Child, girl, woman.

Never free, never me.

Greasy hands, smelly mouths.

Silence.

Thrusts.

Sobbing on the inside.

Fulfill.

Emptiness.

Revolting.

Rage.

Red.

Run.

Run...

I'm done waiting.

The simple, yet powerful work of photographer Patty Maher was presented to be my a lovely reader,

and I immediately fell for it!

I love the settings, the lovely hair, the use of body language...it's haunting in the right ways!

Fiquei rendida às fotografias simples mas poderosas de Patty Maher!

Foram-me apresentadas por uma leitora e - como ela adivinhou - apaixonei-me!

Adoro os cenários, o uso do cabelo, das expressões corporais, a despersonificação das modelos...

repararam que não viram a cara de nenhuma?

Têm alguma foto favorita? Gostaram de conhecer esta fotógrafa? Têm alguma sugestão para mim?
