Do you recognize this woman?
Were people allowed to go up into the emergency dam?
When do you think this photograph was taken?

It inspired me to write this poem muse…
PHOTO:
The Panama Canal Zone, circa 1914. (my guess)
Unknown woman inside Gatun locks emergency dam structure.
…………………………………………………………….
They talked at this Panama place in the rain.
He left…
Abruptly after last click of lens.
He left his umbrella.
He left her…with the silent sunbeams.
Confused…hurting.
Bending bravely into angled steel…
Why … Why?
Oh, it was so long ago.
Still…it seems to matter.

A poetic muse…
