LACK'S EXPRESSION

Folder: 
JOURNAL #20

an intriguing notion

to say so little

yet convey so much

the smile was an insult

to your other grim features

in the witnessed conflict

there is a lot to be gleamed

from such set facial expression

do you feel no pain at all

such airless eyes that drink up so

much emptiness

tell far more interesting stories

than those they try to hide

and yet they still continue today

for you to truly feel anything

would likely shatter

such icy illusion

I carry in my mind

as this mask you wear

called all too sadly enough

your face

gives no clue away

tell me

who did this to you...............

(April 8, 1999)
