The Hand that Turns the Page

Both will disintegrate

the smile and the art

these eyes and magazine

this nose and the article concealed

the face and the cover

the feather and the cap

will all be blown as one

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

...

dearly departed

that beautiful mask

till now was us

even the vanity we glanced from behind the glass has become just a passing thought
