A Book of Faces

Faces, farces, frames and fragments,
following, fumbling and floating;
no vernal blossoms,
no fountain, 
a fiction whirls in a fraction,
a fusion.

A fetish,
frozen and fallen;
a fossil, a forest,
a feeling,
flash and flaunt
the fluroscence.

Then weakened is the flame 
and withered is the feather,
in the careless commotion 
of fingers.
