Prima Facie Evidence


Memories are strange; old photographs
are stranger – the former bearing
witness to the tale you long to tell,

the latter selling prima facie evidence
you’d got it wrong: a surgical procedure –
and the form it would dismember.

I see your younger face and mine, less
battered then, than now, by time, and full
of longing: but for what? I can’t remember.
