An Old Photo of My Parents

entry picture

I can look at their black and white photo

whenever I want, to take in where they’ve been.

The old wood frame somewhat worn

from years of repeating the memories.

 

The image within, from long ago, is a little blurred.

But that’s not why I couldn’t understand

where the love, captured in time, might have gone.
