family
portrait
the
old ones on the wall
not
so old really
no
one got to be then
but
they are severe
as
if about to box
the
photographer's ears
wash
our mouths out
with
soap and water
give
us a dose
of
cod liver oil
and
the one who mucked it up
grey
blur
the
couldn't-sit-still girl
she
must have kept moving
because
the records won't reveal
a
death date for that one
she's
still out chasing rabbits
doubt
she'll be back
in
time for her tea
terrific:)
