+Always a mask  
+Held in the slim hand whitely  
+Always she had a mask before her face–  
+  
+Truly the wrist  
+Holding it lightly  
+Fitted the task:  
+Sometimes however  
+Was there a shiver,  
+Fingertip quiver,  
+Ever so slightly–  
+Holding the mask?  
+  
+For years and years and years I wondered  
+But dared not ask  
+And then–  
+I blundered,  
+Looked behind the mask,  
+To find  
+Nothing–  
+She had no face.  
+  
+She had become  
+Merely a hand  
+Holding the mask  
+With grace.
