Old Picture

[anirbas]

Here
tears
don't drip
they roar
and pour
in an endless
cacophonous
waterfall
of glacial
meltdown.

Here
stand
still you will
drown drown drown
in the raging echoes
of ancient history

Here
if you
look
at this
old picture
from the past
for to long...

Hell, I know that feeling!

Recently my sisters and cousins, as well myself, have been compiling pictures of our fathers, mothers, aunts and uncles. Also lots of pictures from holidays past in the sixties and seventies that include ourselves in them as children. We have an archive my youngest sister created on Facebook we've all contributed too. Drifting through these images over and over, I was struck by the changes in our faces and postures, mine and my siblings, as my parents stayed married longer. Weird. Just weird. LoL
