Underneath it I'm not a face at all. I'm a solid.You block a head out before you draw on it: a front, two sides, and a corner where one turns into the other.Every plane gets one flat colour, worked out from the direction it happens to point.An eye is two arcs and a pupil. A nose is one long curve that goes around the tip and stops.None of it is a picture of anything. It's arithmetic that happens to land in the shape of a face.

the ink is everything it said while describing itself.each phrase holds, fades, is rewritten somewhere else.the head stays solid; the lower body flickers and drips.touch the figure — the words sharpen and darken.watch the mirror — the reflection hides.it is still being written.
the void was here before the figure.the scribe: four in ten strokes fail to land.the voice circles the tonic and never lands.the head — the only line that holds.the ghost: you cannot confirm you heard it.
