Photograph of My First Girlfriend by Zvi A. Sesling

Black and white photo from a Brownie flash camera
with a white border and scalloped edges. Her dress is white
and sleeveless and she dons cat’s eye glasses with rhinestones.
But now a glue backed piece of paper is stuck across the face
I no longer remember. Yet, I still remember our first kiss.
