These photographs are merely cheap paper icons,
Mementoes to hang up on a wall, display in a book.
Mementoes that fade in a decade or two,
Even when kept pressed between covers.
These pictures lack the depth of personal memory,
They are surface images
That tell only half the story,
Give hints of what seems possibly true.
Yes you may see my collection of family photographs.
But the beauty I knew? I can only tell you with words.
