Mirror You, Mirror Me
We are so rarely seen as we really are. Mirrors only reflect the reversal of our image. Imagine the world in which your reverse self in the mirror inhabits. Allow your mirror self to completely embody the dark side of your nature that you would never actualize in this reality. Don't hold back. Be honest with your darkness. Change your name if necessary. Win goes to whoever excites the animus the most.
Mirror Me
Mirror,
you
are right,
we grow to live
with our Ghost
all in parallel universe
wash and wear
rinse and repeat
we blow kisses
into the wind
upon that Narcissus train
of moving things
...Life...
...goes on...
but we are always 17
or whatever age
it was
we became
unhinged
and realization
opened
to us
like a photo album
or a needle
on a record
and drew
the mental picture
of Everything
as burial...
leaving its
dinosaurs
upon our chests
and we answer
with form
and structure
as poetry
as essay
in silence
like the Concentrics
on a tree
or
Stratigraphic
soil testing
where we can see
eras of our Life
all these things
mirror, you
as mute
accomplice
hide and see
