Nosy, NaPoWriMo 22....
Of all of the features on your face it is the nose
I was always most pleased with. Indeed the nose
is often the feature I gravitate towards on most faces. The nose
being central in such a way as to be obvious: the nose
directing the rest of your face, and yet absent: the nose
directing my eyes to the rest of your face. Here the nose
has become something I think about and wonder upon, be the nose
slight and sharp, or curved and angular, or smooth and round at the bottom of the nose
like yours was, and of course, I miss that. Nuzzling you with the nose
on my own face like a secret wink of understanding. The nose
holds so much identity in the face, it is what we are most drawn to: symmetry. When the nose
is ever so slightly uncalibrated we become aware of the nose
and the face it belongs to as having character that wasn't there before. The nose
then is our window to the person, more interesting than the soul we can never see. The eyes
may contain our essence, but it is after all the nose
which senses it.
