staring before you

there is no way to know
exactly,
to articulate what you see,
but in the lines
and creases
of faces
that you meet, you sense
the dreams
and failures of their lives,
the lost loves,
the found joys.
you see it around their
mouths,
their eyes.
the wrinkled brow.
life in full,
or incomplete, staring
before you.
