MAIMED: HE SEES FACES IN THE GLASS

 

I see faces of blood

faces of bone

faces of sphincter-like

aspect

horrible faces of stone

 

faces of meat

faces of crème brûlée

or of meringue

in advanced decay

 

angel-heads

with revolving faces

shifting melting

features rearranged

utterly

the eyes however

they maintain a constant stare

that has never changed

nor shall it ever change
