Face - Dylan Melone

walking through the defiled halls of mind’s oblivion,


I happened upon a child with no face;

he did, in fact, have a head

upon a thin, sickly, neck

but with naught written upon it.

the child inquired as to my appearance

and I turned and strode on as my heart began to pound.

I came across many more of his kind

and, running now, these faceless beings began to follow

accumulating at every door I pass,

their silken frames reaching through the walls,

voracious hands searching for me.

why can I not escape?

Is it impossible to flee from those

that I’ve defaced?
