wedding photo

January 15, 2019 by Michael Guerin

on the mantle
a single photo
framed in faux silver.

a young couple
in shades
of black and white

smile stiffly past
the landscapes
of a predetermined future.

from then till now
the slow roll
of years have eroded

moment by misplaced
moment any hope
of true communion

with roles too
easily filled
like a pair of old shoes.
