The Face Is a Mask over a Mirror

The face is a mask over a mirror.

What are we looking for? What seeking?

Each of us twists like a haunted river,

Nor do we linger over another's grieving.

Tell me of yourself, that I might become clearer;

Your words are my eyes, your passion my breathing.



The face is a mask over a mirror.

What can I give you? What gleanings

Of yourself can my poor words deliver?
