Family Album
Minehead, or Skegness,
she never could quite remember which.
A black and white, Box Brownie picture.
A stranger smirking, she is beautiful.
They sit on a low sea wall.
A passer-by took the image.
The top of my tussled head,
the lens was too high -
no face in the frame.
She claimed there were other lost me-pics,
better childhood pictures;
I never found them.
I have this one thing
A monochrome box Brownie snap.
Some say foh-tuh-graf.
I know it as, ‘invisible me’
in Minehead
or maybe Skegness.
