The Future Occurring.

The photograph that
freezes time
between two brothers,
two sisters,

the icon of
the past that stops
the future occurring.

I would ask you to burn it
or stand it in its rightful place
to gather dust, with all those other
things collected, to be useful
one day.

Believe that we have worth,
that we have turned out to be
ourselves.
But do not believe
and do not convince yourself
of what we may have been

I would ask you to look at it
to examine it and consider carefully
the reasons why, why does he sit there
alone, on his own
like us?

Believe that we have worth,
that we have turned out to be
ourselves.
But do not believe
and do not convince yourself
of what we may have been

The photograph that
freezes time
between two brothers
two sisters,

the icon of
the past that stops
the future occuring.
