Photo Album

Housing the past and present in its pages
stories of uncontainable ecstasy:
a childhood scowl that is priceless
memories of a clothing sacrifice
to the absolute delight of the victim
sneaky shots of hilarious outcomes
an astonished face with a guilty tinge

Disastrous holidays or catastrophic events,
forever the photo album will expand.
A journey through one's life
lies in the hands of a book.
This is a precious one.
