Darkroom*
In the pitch-black room
Gently grasp the entire surface,
Allowing it to roll between your
fingers,
Seeking out that central spot, the springy
edge
Between grasping for air and hanging
on as the pressure builds.
Pressing gently, softly insert the
tip of your finger in the vacant space.
Then, while one hand caresses the ribbed
sides,
One finger slides, seeking each millimeter
for the middle
Rolling around slowly, firmly feel
for the nub
Making sure to be perfectly
positioned.
Then with each thrust of the wrist.
The rotating touches spreads wider
Building edge upon edge bigger
Until the climactic moment
When the physical release
Absorbing all the energy
Confirms your goal
Is done.
*Or how to roll film onto a reel for tank developing.
