Clarity

Red ringlets in blurry photographs
I like to think I was a happy child
(Though I never smiled in pictures)
Fuzzy frames become clearer
The subject is the same
But the quality changed
Shapes and colors clarifying
No more lying
No more doubt
Am I smiling now?
 

Defunct

Our lips
A perfect fit
Missing pieces found

Now stripped
Rusty gears
Defunct and derelict

No repair
No regrets
