Photograph
Their eyes were opened, and they realized they were naked; so
they made coverings for themselves.
-Genesis 3:7
I was two or three in the picture,
facing the camera nearly naked,
my shoulders drawn together,
head bowed.
My mother hands me
this photograph
after I asked her to find it
in the brown fabric covered album.
She says she and Dad have discussed it,
and want to apologize
if they have done anything
to traumatize me,
she says it certainly wasn’t traumatizing
at the time. It was a good day.
Sometimes when we see things as adults
we see them with different eyes; she says
If those of you who submitted manuscripts to the
contest wish to have a copy of the chapbook please
send a SASE with aprox. 1.10 postage to:
