Photograph

Flashes of light
Clicking echoes and an old man's voice
he remembers,
in front of the lens stood fake smiles,
Catching a memory
of a dead mother
...
That morning
A supportive father, shaving
A young sister, living
A sick mother faking excitement
with pills behind her back
...
he sheds a tear
...
he feels the body heat that once surrounded him
his mother's arm around his shoulder, was.
Heavy, he feels light
...
That night
A supporting father holding his daughter
A young sister trying to understand
A son in tears
A pack of pills left for a bin
and a mother that never got to see the photograph
and we live
