A Face

Day Forty-Three

World without a sound. Untouchable, flat world. When death dawns, world turns into a hard mirror. Faraway world of hope. The mirror reflects all things like the face of someone whose insides are dead. The shape of a woman appears in the mirror. Now you’ve become toeless feet. Now you’ve become fingerless hands. You’ve become a noseless, mouthless face. Your insides that are so far away yet close, the forest in your hair, light enters the rocky moon, and the sea wavers in your shoes. Birds fly up your sleeves and a horse weeps in your pants. The dissolving outline of a woman, a woman trapped inside a round mirror, a woman whose tongue is melting inside her mouth cries inside the slippery edge of the freezing mirror. The full moon wanes. Whenever the sleek mirror flashes in her eyes, something heavy and transparent stomps on her face. The hard world can be seen but not entered. The world is white like a movie screen but with clenched fists. Perhaps the woman’s faint arms are still stirring it.
