A Phone Call From 1919

A Phone Call from 1919
David J Walker

It was her earliest photograph
A stolen image 
A split seconds motion in
Captured time

And here, in this odd box
For so long it lay 
Unseen

And yet a sworn testament
In a storm of its lonely reality undeniable 
Where has been stored the beauty
In this thing 

That stirs an unknow affection
In one thousand shades of grey
