In Your Sights

What's all that commotion

going on?

Why does my head spin so?

This new art bent on me

is ever off-putting

even so...

 

I am for it - for it is for me

fair and just

filled with promise and meaning

More than me

and less than true keening

 

Still, how do I hold

to it,

when it is alien and stark

void of pretense?

So wary in essence

am I

in lowering defense

 

When thy true face is

revealed

cunning and fair

to look upon me,

do I dare look away

or gaze back at thee?

When thy true face is

revealed

cunning and fair

to look upon me,

do I dare look away

as see what is not there ...
