Overtaking my mind on the fast lane
Whirling me up into the air of an
Observer
Stirring up my emotional life:
Greedy faces of advertising.
The sorry face of having lost
All of one’s possessions.
A pretty face frozen in a moment’s
Ecstasy – like Mary Magdalene.
A surgeon’s face of concern
For her patient
Like a mother’s for her child.
A mature face of a female Muse
Depicted by a talented artist –
A face in agony equals a face
In ecstasy.
A face of eternal sadness.
The face of eternal mystery
Like Leonardo’s Mona Lisa.
David’s victorious face having
Killed Goliath.
Giacometti’s face reduced into
His fading figures.
Picasso and Dali’s portraits
Facing each other.
Camus’ face doubting his very
Existence.
And this list will probably go on
For a long time indeed!
