Visage Traveler<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I long to be small, so small
\nthat I can walk over the
\ncontours of your face.<\/p>\n

I want to travel over the
\ncorners of your lips, and
\ngo to the very center,<\/p>\n

and settle there.<\/p>\n

I want to be able to climb
\nyour nose so I can
\nwatch your expression
\nchange,<\/p>\n

I would sit in that oval tub
\nbetween your nose and
\nyour lips<\/p>\n

and<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0watch<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0you<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0smile.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Kiss the roots of the hair that grows
\nfrom the bones of your tawny
\nchin.
\nCarefully walk through your eyelashes
\nand get a really close look at the color of your eyes,<\/p>\n

finally.<\/p>\n

You wouldn\u2019t even know<\/p>\n

that I was there.<\/p>\n
