George Seal Poet Free verse

Apprehension

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
   Manifests uncertainty.
   Stark staring eyes gaze fearfully.
   Only heartbeats, and the ticking clock
   Break silence; then as a whistle blows
   Each mask unfurls in victory.

   G. B. Seal.    Complete the lines.   7/ 25/ 2015
   Line 2 - Ezra Pound.
