A Face

What is a person? Are the slashes congruent,
The lines of his face?
You would have to place him over himself
To see if he had changed.

The person is behind the mirror. Observe
The eyes observe; watch
The harmony of studied lines,
Recite the name.

Call his name.

Does he hear you? It is because he is hidden
Behind the mirror,
Under the things that appear,
Where it is silent:

Where everything is silent.
