Written for: Go Dog Go Cafe – Tuesday Writing Prompt
Write a piece of prose around the word “faceless”
Do burqa-draped women
feel faceless? Now
that we mask day
after day, mumbling
sounds to our own
ears and others, I
cannot conceive
of being covered
head to toe every
day. Summer sticks
to my mouth and nose;
I feel suffocated.
Even a smile
is hidden,
as is a frown.
We become a mass
of unseeing, unseen
people–expression-
less.
