found relic

still
life
frozen in the arc
of time
timeless
remembered forever
or a few weeks, at least
a photograph of
they way he was
and will
never be again
black and white
faded, wrinkled and
lost

forgotten for stretches
of time unimaginable
never thought that possible
but it seems
anything is
i start to shaking
as he sits staring
poised and unmoving
hanging from the wall
a paper picture
held by a thumbtack
and my fading
memories
