Excuse me,
can you see me,
under all of the clothes, skin
and hair?
Can you hear
what I say?
beyond the smiles, and words
I speak?
Do you know me
recognise, I'm more than a name,
family
or tribe?
Beyond it all,
if you would care to pause
you’ll find that,
Me - is invisible.
What is before you
that which you see and hear
is your own
fantasy.
