Ekphrastic from trip photo

Shannon Girl Number One

 

I lean forward on the back of her chair.

The old lady, with white shoulder-length hair,

snuggled in her mother’s day blanket, smiles.

My oldest sister.

I say, “Goodbye, see you next time.”

But like the picture in “Back to the Future,”

she seems to be disappearing

before my eyes.
