The Face at the Center
Blur
light
faces
eyes dissolve
the center goes pale
your face remains around the hole
I look at you, lose you in the center of my sight
Light
stays
edges blur
beside you
the room keeps breathing
I learn to look just beside you
what cannot be seen directly can be held in love
Name
gone
not there
you remain
warm hand inside mine
your voice becomes the long road home
I stop searching for your face and learn your shape by touch
