Silver Veils
Over delicate faces they rest
A quiet fix for a mental desperation
To feel and to gaze
With closed eyes and bound hands
Hollow eyes
Overwhelming and inspirational
A quiet fix for a mental desperation
To say something of importance
With nothing more than a glance


How suiting it is
For an artist to dress the dead
How appalling it is
To hand the cloth to the family
