Photographs

PHOTOGRAPHS Our old photographs – Hundreds are sitting around In dust-free drawers Unlike poor Dorian Gray The faces places don’t change The photographers – Wife and I are old and gray Waiting for the day When relatives take over We reborn stir in our graves Let’s hope there are smiles When those envelopes open Wrinkled faces gone Memories of youthful days Our ghostly presence new dawn

Oh, I hope you'll find "The Old Chest"...I'd love to read it! This reminds me of an old chest, though the faces will be the ones who will speak. Very clever write, Daver! So wishing you the best!! Love, Mikki
