A wink hallmarks the deal –
tinted eyes remained fixed,
a vivid image of mind
sealed by hot red wax.
An image I wish to conceal,
a swift peak is all it took;
it rests printed in dye.
A photograph of a wink
suspended, inside my head,
a small portion of time
framed within my being.
A wink frozen in time.
