PHOTOGRAPH THREE AND FOURPhotograph three was my cousin and I in the parade Sure she could have had a date she invited me Close cousins you say I have to agree Photograph four with another young girl Curly Blondie hair and eyes to adore I was ten and she was seven and loved horses My sister grew up beautiful and strong Now look--does she look like a girl who drag raced? She won the Powder puff unlimited and the parachute failed At the end of the drag race her car sailed into a bank She wanted to race again but hubby said no We were dressed up Easter to go to Church My sister died two years ago now in heaven On my deck soon to bloom the Praying Mantis Lilly Am I to be the only one left in these photographs As one by one they fade away the room gets chilly There are more pictures in the stack: No amount of mental images do they lack Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
