Two Days

October 6th, 2010 by Diane Eames

Two days alone in New York. A weekend stay after a long project in one of Michael’s favorite cities—a rarity of time and space allowed somewhere between the family vacation and Raygun Studio work-flow. Michael’s Polaroids and the words of Poet, Anna Hempstead:

When with her clouds the early dawn illumes 


Our doubtful streets, wistful they grow and mild


As if a sleeping soul grew happy and smiled,


The whole dark city radiantly blooms. 


Pale spires lift their hands above the glooms


Like a resurrection, delicately wild, 


And flushed with slumber like a little child, 


Under a mist, shines forth the innocent Tombs. 
 Thus have I seen it from a casement high. 


As unsubstantial as a dream it grows.


Is this Manhattan, virginal and shy, 


That in a cloud so rapturously glows?


Ethereal, frail, and like an opening rose, 
I see my city with an enlightened eye.
