AUDREY FAMILY PHOTOS
Alice Archambault
1922 - 2006
SHE WAS 27 YEARS OLD WHEN THIS PHOTOGRAPH WAS TAKEN, IN FOLEYET, ONTARIO.
I BELIEVE MY LATE-FATHER, RAYMOND JOSEPH REGAN, WAS HOLDING THE CAMERA.

Poem
For My Mother Part I: The Grief may i speak, at last of the shame and fear held inside about your childhood - you - the small heroine in a tragic epic you did not write a heroine i gave you a candle (circa 2004) clove c love a source of light after nine years! you - ventriloquist for the little girl me - no! stop! enough! i crossed the invisible line and saw, again, your face in the window the day i left home outside, rudy waving what did you see? you and me betrayed by me and you (words we never used) why? explain. hope. once in a dream nothing was guarded we made mistakes shared victories so joyfully imperfect see us everyone, you said we are not perfect
for the little girl who went, silently, with you for the things you left behind hearts and bonds divisions and silence i cry after careful thought, your note was signed, with different ink love always you were almost fearless Audrey / 2006
