Photographing the Spa for the Color Brochure

Without us, it is ugly:

waterfall encased in gray

siding, man-made cascades

before calves submerge

to denial. The photographer stages

his display of mums, amber towels,

a plump pumpkin for October’s brisk

promise of nature tumbling

into bubbling obedience. Then more

tricks: ladders, extension cords, extra lighting.

FLASH he’s transformed summer

patio furniture into cozy

conversational nooks complete with hot

chocolate and toddies; the promised comfort

of terry-cloth. Of course, heat rises

into mist and mystery,

to the still shot that sometime soon

will sell our fabricated lives to suburbanites

who add muscles and limbs,

ordinary torsos, finally

completing the picture

that waits, a little impatiently,

to develop.
