Poem for Today : 'Paged Impressions'

Paged Impressions
On the photograph of the Poet, Richard Ball
in Pembroke Magazine

From the crisp page
setting
black and white
dulling
into grey matt images.

No trace of lines
from leering
clockwork smiles:
but the honesty
of half-distant
memories,
unknown future
thoughts,
reflected in the eyes
of an old friend’s
photograph.
