and find nothing

have traveled afar
and you cant go to them,
no matter what shoes you wear.

Psychoanalysis is often about turning our ghosts into ancestors, even for patients who have not lost loved ones to death.

Cassandra wondered at the mind's cruel ability to toss up flecks of the past. Why, as she neared her life's end, her grandmother's head should ring with the voices of people long since gone.

It's a cruel, ironical art, photography. The dragging of captured moments into the future; moments that should have been allowed to evaporate with the past, should exist only in memories glimpsed through the fog of events that came after. Photography forces us to see people before their future weighed down on them. Before they knew their endings.
