Here and there, now here and nowcaptured still, in forgotten photographs,sepia edged mementos of days gone bye.Dog-eared, brow-beaten, weathered yellow,past from pillar to post,from hand to hand,by family, by friends, by lovers, by strangers.The box of photos fell to meto unravel its mysteriesto trace my ancestrylike a child joining the dotsreveals the tree’s connections. Here a death, there a birth,a marriage made, a census recorded,a migration thereand back.Poverty, cholera and faminedrove the routes travelled,the roots made,till finally it was laid to rest with me.© Sheila Ash, 2014ashramblings
