Another Human Face


Another human face
amalgamated in today
to place its yellow, pink

and black voluminousness
into white unheeding
space in front of me.

I never ask for anything
I get. But I don’t fret –
I have the prize, no matter

how disturbing are its
contours or its colors
or its size – or if it has,

like this one, more than
usually pensive inexplicably
tormented eyes: as if

it thinks I might decode,
define the strangeness
in its carnival disguise.

I hate to have to tell
this pink, black, yellow
man I never can.
