celebrating and creating our own LGBTQI+ history in honour of Sheila McWattie

Day fifteen


The Old Photograph

Two little girls,

sitting on a wall.

Are they twins?

No, but inseparable in their twinkly mischief.

Closer than pages in a book

but books can burn

and tragically 

those once thought to be identical

became opposites.

Meg, Llanbrynair

It captures both intimacy and fragility in a compact, memorable way. It’s the poem’s emotional hinge.
