Negatives

Verity we called you. The truth of us
In a shut box gone rotten. Daddy must
Still remember you, if not me. That day
In the delivery room I saw
Our album crumple in his face. No more
Names. No baby photos. Just the grey
Smog settling on our silence. Angel dust.

I just cut onions, so the eyes... There is nothing to say here but relive a pain. Beautiful. Thanks.

What a great piece of work, what makes it sadder is in some cases, this is very true to life...

This is such a sad poem. All those hopes tied up in a bundle of not meant to be.

I like the title Negatives, since it's all about photographs that can be lost so easily as the negatives are ruined by time. Good poem, Mrs.

Yes it was lazy not to give it a title. Thanks all.
