new garden
wire fencing held up
by sticks and weeds
between gardens
and gentle light
from between the trees
plays full on my Nan’s face who has
taken off her glasses for awhile
closed her eyes thinking of the future
and sideways across
my brother’s face who
holds a black kitten intent
not to let it drop

such an image! the first stanza with its static quality creates an old photograph view on the two juxtaposed characters, the grandmother caught in serene thought and the child holding the squirming kitten

exactly so: I have a copy of the photo somewhere but cannot seem to hold it in my hand;
