Pictures resurfacing
an unease in disclosure
black and white
teared and attached
together
shaking and weeping
sobs echoing
reverberating
through glass windows
as she sat there
sprawled and scattered
what will become
of all these distant memories?
hollowed and tainted
damaged and frail
she is now squinting
puffy green eyes
now glowing with humor
there her grandma is
underneath the plastic protective cover
dressed like royalty
wearing a tender grin
and she knew
once upon a time long ago
these memories
defined wholesomeness
now stored as antiquity
for all to gaze at.
