Is that a face you could spend
The rest of your life looking at
Across a table?

Getting to know its patterns
And contours better than
The streets of your hometown?

Wondering whether worried
Wing lined eyes are windows
To a beautiful soul?

Or are you doomed to wonder
If you could just as well fill
Your aging gaze with another?
