Embarassing -- the way even the earliest photographs
Of you show the same trusting smile
At the lens, which bunches your beams
Into a nostalgia, opened
For milliseconds, the body seduced
By the promise of the return
Of everything familiar. And later
Time is palpably passing,
A vanishing, shocking, on celluloid.
Just as your smile seems to dissolve
As you look at it years later. Chary
Of the unknown, fixed on something
Long ago and far away, you gaze rejects you.
