During the Open Sea Swim Season, as in now, a couple of amateur photographers, to the delight and sometimes dismay of race participants, snap pics and post them on the Leinster Open Sea facebook page. Here's a flavour of what happens....
THE CATCH
He scans the ocean waves
His clear
eye discerning the perfect frame
The most
jaded, the most compromised
Dragging
themselves to shore
Where his
telescopic vision
Pinions
them to his reel.
Sometimes
he captures all of us
Waves
slowing us down
Bending us
To the
centre of his gaze.
Or scouring
among spectators, he snaps
Incipient
lovers, indifferent infants,
Shysters
who cannot evade his scrutiny.
Scoops to add
to his lair;
His facebook eyrie.
His facebook eyrie.
And
afterwards we are glad.
Glad of
this calibrating and combining of elements
That snatch these moments in time
And preserve
for us these memories.
