Side by side in floral swimsuits
Immortalised as happy
On the photograph
From someone else's angle
My smile was that wide
It could have been mistaken for fake
For once
We did something together
When you were well
Your smile was film-star grace
Rare
Natural
Not electric
The water was cold
Yet you stood, un-flinched
Legs distorted like pencils in a glass
Photographed from torso up
So others couldn't see
