A Photograph
Shirley Taulisan
The cardboard shows me how it was
When the two girl cousins went paddling,
Each one holding one of my mother's hands,
And she the big giri some twelve years or so.
All three stood still to smile through their hair
At the uncle with the camera. A sweet face,
My mother's, that was before I was bom.
And the sea, which appears to have changed less.
Washed their terribly transient feet.
Some twenty-thirty - years later
She'd laugh at the snapshot. "See Betty
And Dolly," she'd say, "and look how they
Dressed us for the beach. The sea holiday
Was her past, mine is her laughter. Both wry
With the laboured ease of loss.
Now sbe's been dead nearly as many years
As that girl lived. And of this circumstance
There is nothing to say at all.
Its silence silences.
