thinking about the future
about the past
about my mother’s past
and hers
and hers
and hers
all the way back
the great grandmother in the tree
climbing in black and white
frozen forever in time on a sunny day
a teenage girl who loved poetry
like me
like i used to be
one day my daughter will look at an old photo of me and think
“a teenage girl who loved poetry,
like me.”
and this day will be gone forever too
unless we care enough to save the photos
save the videos
i take them anyway
in case my ancestors
become archaeologists
and want to study my life
which is their life
like i study my great grandmother’s life
because it’s my life too
