I have a photograph of you,1
your eyes are shuttered against the world.2
You seem at peace, a soft3
moment until4
I notice the crease in your brow,5
and the gentle wrinkles 6
playing about your lids as if7
you are breathing too deep.8
Perhaps a sharp ache sears your 9
thoughts or10
jolts you into memory11
and I don’t understand.12
