Poem of the Week

A woman's face behind a scrim. Half the face looks like waves in the breeze.

Hear me read
the poem as
an MP3 file.

Watch me read
the poem as
an MP4 file.

Every moment is a revelation
Placed behind the scrim of what one sees.
In every unremarkable sensation,
Poised to dance, some truth awaits a breeze.
How might one then step behind the veil,
Alive in ways one was not meant to live?
None can bear such beauty long, nor fail,
Yet yearning, to revere what grace might give.
