Face

(Silvia, 24th of February 2020, Greenwich)

In the black spring 
The earth shuns the rain
Like a child who refuses to drink 
Behind glass walls
Love is a faded artefact 
At the museum 
The throat singer grunts and heaves
With such menacing eroticism
Yet I have no voice.
My thoughts are like explorers lost 
In the frozen North 
Have I replaced you with false memories 
Of hunting caribou and arctic rabbit?

Do you still have a face?
