Fill My Lens






Fill My Lens





My mother's photos show us standing stiffly beside 

this or that. My little daughter stood to attention 

next to something.  Her cowlick licked into submission.

I never posed her or confined her, my daughter

is a free spirit to fill my lens, her hair adrift

in waves and the wind. Brimming

with life and joy, pondering, taking it all in.

Her early years are never far from my eye.


Take the photo. Take it now.
