Listen to poem:

About Face

About Face
David J Walker

It is about face 
About time and place
And direction 
And unoccupied space 
In East or West that 
We face

And the unknowing of 
which is  forward or 
backward or north 
or south

the illusion of which is
up and which is down

bound by the gravity of
anticipation in

each new moon and season
Named for the gods lost
To antiquity
