(to be read out loud)

took he the face apart
he took apart the face
to look the face apart
he took and shook
the face to get an inner look
the order of the face forsook
the face was now an open book
the nose he took the nose he took
aside he put the nose to look
an ear he took both ears he took
and side by side both ears he put
the mouth he took the mouth he took
he did not want to overlook
the mouth he took to make us look
the eyes he took both eyes he took
he took the eyes to make us look
so sad they look the eyes he took
the eyes he took to make us look
at us they look the eyes he took
he opened up the face’s book
he took the open book and shook
he took and shook he took and shook
he took and shook to make us see
the faces’ tortured history
the tearing of a face apart
revealed the blood wound in the heart.
