Every face is a story Etched into the air we breathe / And these journeys Lead us to paper lives of survival’s manifest, Where solid colours refuse to exist - And black and white enmesh To cloud the streams of speech We use to guide us to The non-existent chapter Of complete understanding / Leaving fingerprints That overlap over others Until an artwork is forced /out/ of our ghostly presence, Always to be remembered By all we’ve touched - Long after memory has lost itself... In the streets of brains Trying their best to rest after they have successfully /etched/ themselves into the fabric Of spinning time and a gravitational pull -Irresistible- Breathing out one last patch To add to humanity’s short stretch, To feel the very essence Of reality within them Before returning to the beginning / Every face is a story
