_ Mask or No Mask, Boston poet Paul Hostovsky captures a simple

Face Mask
By Paul Hostovsky       

Have you noticed
how beautiful
everyone looks

when all you can see
are their eyes?
Something about

the imagination,
how it conjures
a perfectly

beautiful face
in the eyes
of the beholder

facing a pandemic
and a polity
with so many unveiled

ugly hatreds.

Paul Hostovsky is the author of twelve books of poetry, most
recently, _Mostly _(FutureCycle Press, 2021). His poems have won a
Pushcart Prize, two Best of the Net Awards, and have been featured on
Poetry Daily, Verse Daily, and The Writer's Almanac. He makes his
living in Boston as a sign language interpreter.
