.
The face turns down, eyes
turn away to watch the wall
unchanging, but if the gray
face is mine, there is little
there to mourn.
The eyes turn back and re-see
the gray that is bright as neon
and tipped with hoar frost,
but a face will eventually sag
with age and there will be nothing
left to mourn.
