It begins simply enough.
Your grandparents, or great-uncles or aunties
passing you an album for your sixth or seventh birthday
slowly filling the book as each item is picked up
places you’ve never been to
finding their way to their allotted spot
the craft develops over time
as those hinges you paid little attention to at the start
are carefully applied to the back of each mini – masterpiece
and the book becomes a travelogue
of your family journeys around the world
