Until we have faces
A clear empty slate
Hollow condemned
No love until we decend 
Faces without imperfection 
Disgusting, vile, cruel
Until we have faces
Your smile, not smile 
Gaping, opening 
Nothingness 
Your face is not a face at all
But a fixturless feature
Gasping for air until
No more
Until we have faces
