is beauty superficial?

mari.e cornellier

I was there
and couldn’t figure out
exactly what
she was speaking of
what she was seeing

then looking
through her eyes
I was able to grasp on
something
an elusive
something

holding on to it
suddenly I was
submerge
by a chilly feeling

out of joy
I started crying

I was seeing it
I was seeing the beauty
she was seeing

I saw myself
