    THE LIVING PHOTOGRAPH BY JACKIE KAY THE LIVING PHOTOGRAPH BY JACKIE KAY

    My small grandmother is tall there, My small grandmother is tall there,


    straight-back, white broderie anglaise shirt, straight-back, white broderie anglaise shirt,
    pleated skirt, Hat shoes, grey bun, pleated skirt, Hat shoes, grey bun,
    a kind, old smile round her eyes. a kind, old smile round her eyes.
    Her big hand holds mine, Her big hand holds mine,
    white hand in black hand. white hand in black hand.
    Her sharp blue eyes look her own death in the eye. Her sharp blue eyes look her own death in the eye.
    It was true, after all, that look. It was true, after all, that look.
    My tall grandmother became small. My tall grandmother became small.
    Her back round and hunched. Her back round and hunched.
    Her soup forgot to boil. Her soup forgot to boil.
    She went to the awful place grandmothers go. She went to the awful place grandmothers go.
    Somewhere unknown, unthinkable. Somewhere unknown, unthinkable.
    But there she is still, But there she is still,
    In the photo with me at three, In the photo with me at three,
    The crinkled smile is still living, breathing. The crinkled smile is still living, breathing.
