First Picture

out of myth
strange beast

features scribbled green
with alien shape

out of pleasure motion verve
no thought of erasure

alone to the four corners of the paper
easily rustled easily bent

its face a smile

mounted admiringly with fridge magnets
long ago

long since removed
lost forgotten

others too
piled back to back

pressed against the whiteness of pages
frozen in it

many upon many
an ice age of them filed away

tonight in the stove it burns

after years a thaw
yet the ice does not melt
