Knox Bronson - The Guitar Lesson (Homage à Balthus)

[sunday] Knox Bronson – The Guitar Lesson (Homage à Balthus)

This is the album we had on the turntable as we did this shoot. I told the models this is the feeling I’m hoping achieve.

I think a little Neruda is in order.

Love Sonnet XI

I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.

I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.

I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,

and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.

Happy Sunday.
