It captures perfectly the face of deceit. The sense of double-speak, of using our trust to mislead, and the sense of shifting ground that lies create. It also conveys the sense of masking and duplicity - those two eyes. One soft, drawing one in, promising the safety of honesty and yet...; the other hard-edged with a subtle splitting. I am at my most uncomfortable when someone seems to be concealing the truth - through silence, especially. The pink crudeness of the lying tongue, the jangling lines raining down behind the image. A disorienting portrait altogether.<br /><br />I am enjoying your writing immensely - a wonderful gift of reflection.
