Interlude

Interlude

 

The face behind

Sees and can be seen into,

Yet only

To perceive

All as illusion –

 

Feelings and emotions

Picked from context

Revile thoughts within,

Yet the rest is buried deep behind

Flesh and costume.

 

Presentation is what is begot

As viable truth,

But what the truth is:

 

A masquerade of souls

Dancing to the tunes of

Mortality.
 

 

From one song

To the next

All begins

Then ends.
 

 

Moments are erased

With time and

Space

As the next

Experience

Becomes

Present.

 

After each presentation

The mask is changed,

And the eyes

Behind the flesh

See with

A different facade.
