Granddad's Lover
When he stored it away, do you think granddad ever
thought a future grandson would get a hard-on
while looking at this photo of his lover?
They’re both dead and gone, but
her eyes smile across the years.
I hope he doesn’t mind me
making love to her
in my imagination.

She must definitely have been much younger than your grandmother too, judging from the hairstyle and underwear cut.

He died at 83 four years ago. This lady who was a friend of their family was in her mid-forties when she died a year later. I didn’t put them together until I found her photo. They must have been lovers for at least twenty years. Interesting to reconstruct the past.

Twenty years before his death he would have been the age I shall be on the 20th....Tempted to say 'Good for you old boy!'
