A Ten Minute Treatise On My Face

my face does
little
and peacefully
pushes air around

it catalogues the moments

a jar full of seasons
cracks

then busts and hangs
from a dry July branch


it is a smile


there are only
so many ways
an egg can taste bitter

the shell, for example

my face does
little to embalm
a minute

it only opens

a yearn for your flavor
