The poem and photo are by Tammy Ho Lai-ming, a Hong Kong-born writer. The poem was originally a stanza from a longer poem titled “Confessions of a Woman, Seventy Years Old or Less,” in which the narrator struggles to adopt a more positive outlook. Here, her voice is juxtaposed with an image of a young girl, her neighbour.

The photo and poem compliment each other so well. I like the juxtaposition of the tree and the wind in the leaves with the young girl. Nice!
