Face

When I see her face

I don’t get an ********

But something in my gut

yearns to be held by her.

 

If only I could spend my life

understanding her face.

In time I would

uncover God.

 

Instead I am afraid

and I do get an ********

I smear her lips with brine

smudge dark honey

under her eyes.

 

How do I orchestrate ******

accompany **** with a melody?

When the sun comes

she is marked.
