Photographic Sentence by spotlight skullshines
June 19th, 2006 1:39 PM
I was particularly moved by Angolan Poet Antonio Jacinto, who was politically imprisoned for fourteen years by the Portugese.
His poem Letter From A Contract Worker, has punctuation and hence i felt safe calling one particular stanza, with a period at the end of it, a sentance. I then grabbed the first image off of flickr, for each word.
for repeated words i simply used repeated images, which ultimately seems to have translated this quite personal piece into something written by the cheeky guy who came up first for the word "I". Sorry, Mr. Jacinto.
Heres the piece alone,
I wanted to write you a letter
my love
which you could not read without crying
which you would hide from your father bombo
and conceal from your mother Kieza
which you woulod read without the indifference
of forgetfulness
a letter which would make any other
in all Kilombo worthless.
i would prefer, however, for you to read it by clicking on the first photo and going word by word

click on the image for the word it is associated with
or better yet, start with the first, and just hit the next button to read the poem
