A THOUSAND WORDS

These pictures tell tales.

Tales no one speaks

no one can.

They reminisce after a past

hidden by death and deceit.

The photographer, gone

repeats nothing.

The subjects, missing,

remain silent.

All that remains

as mute testimony

are the images

of what once was.

Still, the quiet shots

speak loudly.

These pictures speak a thousand words

even if they�re simply

five hundred repetitions of

�I remember.�

I remember...
