[let’s take a picture] by Taryn Dixon

let’s take a picture

through every season.

not just

summer

            fall

                        winter

                                    spring

but the seasons

            of us.

the good

the bad

                        the beautiful

                        the ugly

through every drought

and every storm—

to see   how far we’ve come

and how far we can go.
