she came for a kiss
that’s the first thing that comes to mind
when i look at this photo from long ago
i was trying to create
a formal portrait of her mother
when suddenly there came
little dora asking for a kiss
which her mother bestowed with
a certain forgetfulness of my presence
for such kisses were usually secretive
i would chance to see them only
when looking on from another room
the second thing that comes to mind
when i look at this photo taken long ago
is how fortunate i am to have captured
this everlasting moment of forgetfulness
