Poem by Karen Chamisso

 

There are certain who can read a face

And certain who can’t.

 

A face like a novel

The wrinkles intrigue, the mouth irony

 

The eyes, who hasn’t been there?

Promiscuity at the heart of vision

 

And the hair ears cheeks

And the whole shebang in motion

 

The faces that populate us until

One of them, leaning over

 

Sez: she’s gone.

Someone to close your eyes.
