in a black and white frame

by jan oskar hansen - Scorpio

In Black & White


Our home is so full of you,
Romantic novels on shelves
And pictures of your family
On walls.

Found a faded photo of my 
Mother in a drawer, memory
Of this modest woman filled
My eyes.

Stranger in my own home, 
I have to look inwards to 
Remember that once I too
Belonged.

Pictures on the wall, faces 
Watching me, keeping their 
Secrets in black frames of 
Her memories.
