Expression of Fear
goes on to stutter and attempt to tell a story
the characters are familiar
warm skin
soft lips
hair
and arms
he laughs
as I pass him
he is sitting
in a chair
he is posing for a picture
statue, unmoving
cement, when I fell I scraped my knee and cried
marble, symmetry
his face is interchangeable with the wind
and the sky
and the mirror image of his body
lives in space
and underneath
the spaces in between
