HUMAN FACE
BY TAMIZ LUDI

I was told paint a human face.
But when I tried to draw it, I found that without my knowing
I've taken up one of the most laborious job in the world.

It was better to collect ice-chips at the night of cold-wave or
walking on the scorching heat of the desert.
While drawing the cheeks, eyes and the chin
I found they have countless styles and postures, that were
hidden under some identical mystic wrapper.

When I went to draw the face, I saw there are more faces
behind the original face.
As it is an unreachable tunnel
There's nothing beyond except dense darkness.

So while drawing a human face
I drew only a likeness of it.
