Regard the Pictures

Regard the pictures
Then with paper plain
Losing all strictures
Divide and explain

How portraits
Are portals to duality
Diversity contains
Roots to reality

Where you see sneer
Under neatly parted hair
Wholeness erases fear
If you dare

To explore
Your photo album
And not ignore
Memory’s freedom

Pictures hold no reality
They record death
A deed to finality
Of what lies beneath
