the girl in the photo

there was a girl
once, a squared snapshot
in black and white,

her hair cut short.
blonde
as if 
shaped by a bowl,

she stared into the camera

with all the wisdom
of a grown woman.

it's not a smile, or a frown,
but
awareness perhaps,
of what was to come,

even then there was little
that she didn't
already know.
