“I touch their cardboard faces” That voice, a heavy voice (a mother-sister voice) Telling me to find meaning in faces I cannot see I cannot experience. Yet, imagination runs wild In circumstances thus. I see memories of faces That once I knew, Once I experienced, But that now have become motionless, processed, Stills of a memory That will never be real.

“I touch their cardboard faces” That voice, a heavy voice (a mother-sister voice) Telling me to find meaning in faces I cannot see I cannot experience. Yet, imagination runs wild In circumstances thus. I see memories of faces That once I knew, Once I experienced, But that now have become motionless, processed, Stills of a memory That will never be real.
