The photo shows a face I never saw before, an expression too
grim to bear for long, only her mother telling her how it really is, the rest
the collection of well wishers, who love her regardless, telling her how she's
still looks beautiful, an assessment she won't believe even if true, a picture
I was never meant to see, dedicated to someone else, someplace remote, perhaps
the person she fled from a year ago, yet has not managed to escape, something
unexpected in her eyes I have never seen before, as grim as the set of her lips,
saying something I can't make out, making no reply to her mother or others as
she thinks the picture says it all, all that needs to be said
