mama had photos of herself
when she was young
and oh so beautiful
glamour girl
in fur and pearls
wind blowing unpinned curls
be pretty
be slim
be black and white photo beautiful
suck in your tummy
hold your head up
heels on walk slow
1940’s beauty
could take you anywhere
you’d want to go
a fading life
in black in white
no color
to reveal
who you really are
how you really feel
