A Quality of Face - Rebecca Evert

[Larry Robinson]

A Quality of Face
 
 
Maybe it’s how kindness rests there  
 
First on the forehead
 
Pausing not to land determinedly
 
Flowing out to the corners of your eyes
 
Creating small rivulets
 
Ebbing inward and onward 
 
Drifting from the corners of your mouth
 
Floating down toward the bass violin
 
How kindness resonates, first
 
in your profile, then
 
in the curve of grained wood
 
Meeting and greeting the other, with 
 
a small uplift of the mouth, and
 
a bowed note
 

	- Rebecca Evert
