I Bought an Old Camera That Had Random Photos From 2005

I’m glad they weren’t deleted

This is the camera-Image by the Author

An old camera
purchased from Goodwill
had leftover photos
from 2005.

A woman holding
her tiny dog
smiling in a
log cabin.

A chuckling family
pointing at a brother
who lays passed out
on a lawn chair.

A husband and
his wife holding
each other’s side
in terrible lighting.

Are these memories still with them?
Or did they escape them and find me?
Are they still waking up in the morning?
Certainly, the dog has since passed.
