Photograph

There are the three of them at the bus stop
The man, the woman and the kid

The man's hands in his pockets
The woman holding hands with the kid

The man is sad
As sad as sad songs

The woman beautiful
As beautiful as beautiful memories

The kid
Sad as beautiful memories
As beautiful as sad songs.

Cemal Süreya
