me, over there
on grandma’s laps
Georgina, our puppy,
the house help,
didn’t know
a picture was being taken
he. he’s no more. snakebite
here, under these trees
we held a simple prayer ceremony
bringing along food and drinks
and flowers
plucked from trees along the road
was the custom every Christmas
there! mom in her teens
her once pretty face
now taken over
by cobwebs of wrinkles
the camera captures
so little
of the many good memories
drifting in the past
