V. G - W, Poem by Douglas Scotney

V. G - W,



in an album
that otherwise conforms to expectation,
separation,
ventures to infer
from one photo with one element that doesn't conform,
the presence of an aboriginal and a white man together,
and more specifically,
a black head on a white leg,
that L's intent
was not what viewers may have inferred,
alienation,
but reconciliation.

Well,
she has some knowledge of L.
