black & white photographs of
a little girl swinging in a swing
a boy in diapers playing in the dirt
a happy dog running to greet you
Why were they taken?
solitary wall shelf with
a small gold trimmed, painted cup
a carving of an old man with beard
an ashtray labeled Stardust Hotel
Why were they saved?
stories told and retold about
a grizzly bear in camp
a lady beggar in the park
a daughter's wedding gown
Why were they important?
