Needle Field

Another day of photographing dead bodies.


I move around to view her left hand through the lens.


Her nails are manicured, a plaster on her arm, a tailored suit jacket. She was cared for.


The camera shutter echos in the cold air.


I roll her slightly to the right to take a picture of her face. Jane Doe number 6. Eyes greyed, pale, a smidge of dirt across her face.


Maybe someone will recognise her.
