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

· IN THE POEM, THE PERSONA’S GRANDMOTHER HAS ALREADY PASSED AWAY.
HOWEVER, IN THE PHOTOGRAPH, SHE WILL ALWAYS BE HEALTHY AND ALIVE.
· A PHOTOGRAPH ALSO ALLOWS US GRANDMOTHER PASSES AWAY TO REFLECT ON
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST AND RELIVE OUR MEMORIES.

· DEATH IS A DEFINITE OUTCOME FOR ALL OF US.

AND HEALTHY BUT SOON GROWS OLDER AND BECOMES ILL.
· IN THE END, THE GRANDMOTHER PASSES AWAY AND THE PERSONA IS ONLY ABLE TO
RELIVE HER MEMORIES WITH HER GRANDMOTHER THROUGH A PHOTOGRAPH.
