It could have been mine   (yours)   this face
(faced in)   (to face up to)   features appear
(their – our – my appearances)    (he?  his?)
To discover   (self)   (other)   for the first
(belatedly)   time    the name   (face)   (visual
image of)   and the age old in the instant   (insistence)
eclipsed   (upon)   familiarity   (sift through your / her
memories)   hands out   (handout)   the second   (sand)   filters
through   (between)   covers   (caressing)   your fingers
(recognition?)   an hourglass, a nugget   (this boulder?)
It might have gone   (other)   (self)   (grounding)   elsewhere
slithering   (he?—source of cognition)   (these moments)   names

to where stone-gold   (a pebble)   is milled to   (then dust)
dusk where   (it should have been)   evidence   (She
in the   (dis)appearances)   is familiarity, family   (a precocious)
knowledge of   (a knowing)   patent   (parental)
lineage   (sounding board)   dug up in the   (retrospective)
reflection   (panning outwards for)   (towards)
