Blank

BLANK blank face blank stare blank wall blank fear white glare I disappear man at my back 100’s in my hair a 1000 peg legs I disappear receptions polite desk not all knives are in museums behind glass shaped like a deckchair I disappear first ripples in the marble façade tame bird in hand wristbark notched six times I disappear past nude whiteblue beaches flockflooded esplanades into chill lensed telescopes I disappear blank face blank stare blank wall blank fear white glare drowning in my sea again I disappear © Kim van Breda—15 January 2016
