faces in time
those from the past
and the future
looking inward
into the collapsing
center of reality
time flowing
through their lips
as words,
turning into form
and motion
as we move
through it all
their eyes
blackened
never blinking
seeing everything
and nothing
and all is
reflected back
at us,
through their
infinite darkness
ourselves
seen through others
and back again,
a loop
of self
forever
