An abstract sculpture in white of portions of two faces in a romantic pose. A frontal view of the closed right eye, nose, lips, chin, and left cheek surrounded by a swoop suggesting the shape of hair is being embraced by a face in profile whose hand can be seen wrapping around the missing right cheek. A kiss seems imminent.

You draw my will out
Through my skin.
It sits,
Dewy opals,
On the curves of my neck
Until you scoop it away
With barely open lips.
