A face torn

A face beyond what is seen

A face burned

A face beyond what you know

Beyond what’s felt

Beyond what’s real

Beyond what’s held

I don’t want to see it

I don’t want to feel it

I don’t want it so close

I don’t want to know that it’s real

And something I could not grasp

And in fact leads me to my doom

Stares into your depths

Knows your weak points

Cloud, vapor

Trail, mist

Chemical extract while planes piss
