Self Portrait A.M. Moscoso
“Her eyes are so dark ”
my Grandmother used to say.
” I wonder what goes on behind them when her back is turned, when she thinks lost in thought and I’m looking the other way ”
“Her thoughts are so dark ”
my Father used to say.
‘ I wonder where they come from, where they go when she thinks I’m lost
in thought and I’m looking the other way.”
Self Portrait A.M. Moscoso

Grandma and Dad

when no one was looking, no one was thinking
and they were looking the other way.
