*The Face Is a Mask Over a Mirror*


The face is a mask over a mirror.
What are we looking for? What are we seeking?
Each of us twist like a haunted river,
Nor do we linger over another's grieving.
Tell me of yourself, that I might become clearer;
Your words are my eyes, your passion, my breathing.

The face is a mask over a mirror.
What can I give you? What gleanings
Of yourself can my poor words deliver?
