retelling

 


"retelling"

 

 

stories of us
i carry close
instead of photographs

 the feel of them --


an album full of us
you voice through your words

 

as all else fades
       non-essentials
                faint as childhood scars

My father hated photographs and having his photo taken. Perhaps it was for the reason you mention. Photos fade but in "retelling" people live on.
