His face

"Have you looked into his eyes, sister?"
"That i have not, sister, i fear to"

Rita and Serafina, his dark materials

And why was it that i
Refused to look into your face

What was it
That i was afraid of finding there?

Too much love, maybe
That i did not want to return
And be responsible for
All my life?

Or too little,
That would confirm
That no one loved me.
