Pieces of Her

A man sees his young wife      through a camera lens                         she’s wearing floral dress.                                 tilts her chin forward.                          he snaps, captures 

alas, the end result by our 

fledgling photographer 

skims away the top of her head

I think how could he?


after all this time,

now that she is gone 

we understand, 

the photo makes sense


we are fragments   

none of us ever truly whole 

as she will never be 

again, to us
