Our own faces we can not see

10th September 2012


Our own faces we can not see.
The mirror flatters to deceive,
or alarms by telling more than is so.

Our own voices we may not hear
as others do. The shock of playback
pricks vanity and disorientates.

Our own gestures when in full flow
may distract all but self,
and drum to a contrary beat.

On our own we are never complete.
Solace can not be had in isolation
from all that makes us what we are.
