with
tender hands

I look at the
black and white
photographs

Cleveland
lights
and towers

your bright eyes
I thought would never
burn out

glossy photograph
teardrops

among the things I have
left

Oh Jennie, this is so sad.  Photographs are windows to our past, our loved ones and so many of our memories.  It's sad when what we see in those photographs is no longer what is with us in our present, but we have to look at those photographs and feel lucky to have shared in those memories that we see in them. I think everyone can relate to your poem in one way or another. Well done.
