False Memory

by

All night, my mother seeks that wedding photo.
Remember, she says, your granny
wearing a gigantic hat—with feathers!
Gibson girl hat, and Grandpa had a moustache?
We loved when he grew a moustache.
Never shave it off, we would beg.

I say, I don’t remember that picture
She says, yes, yes,
it sat on the Italian desk
until you broke the frame.

But Granny never had a wedding photo.
