The London Hours, 2012

Having no eyelids
will not

.
allow me

.

to take
a pause
from watching you
.
making up
the next
lie
.
having no lips
will not

.
allow me

.

to frown
– no tongue
to judge you
.
out loud.

This whole series of poems express and evoke powerful emotions with an economy of words seldom seen. Well done.

The compression of lines works for this series. This last one let me smile.
