Faceless

I sketched a faceless man today

I put more details in his hands than I ever could in his eyes

 

I drew a faceless woman today

forward facing

I put more details on the muscles of her back

than I ever could her nose

 

I painted a faceless child today

I put more details on his body

than I ever could his lips

 

I painted faceless beings today

all hollowed out alone

my art teacher looked at me like i was a little disturbed

I could not explain to him that the hollow of her cheekbone

will have more meaning

than the color of her eyes

or the voluptuousness of her lips

and that the strain in her shoulders

will show

and that man will have more meaning in the creases

of his palms

than I could ever put on the lines of his face

And all I could think of was

How that faceless woman had a **** good
