My Redeemer ~ Deranged Photography Contest: Saturday Black and White Theme

While taking a break after reading the poem "My Redeemer" in Book of Longing by Leonard Cohen, I set down my glasses and picked up my camera.

I took this picture with "macro" in my mind, but I think black and white is more appropriate, so I'm posting the image for the Saturday Black and White theme in the Deranged Photography Contest curated by @derangedcontests. I'm posting in the amateur tier.
