Zoom In to my face. Closer. See the colours on my skin The mingled hues so diverse that form the tone of my complexion From a distance. My complexities are neutralised by the distance from which they are viewed. Zoom in Closer. See the fine pores and pale hairs That lie on the surface of the ***** that is Skin. Just so today And tomorrow Metamorphosised by new cells that multiply and those that die. Zoom in Closer yet And that surface now Is unrecognisable That picture now A poster One hundred feet in height and paper thin. A surface with no depth. Walk through it To the night beyond With all its stars The ones you see and strain to see and those beyond And know who And what We are.
