'you don't need a mirror to see your Self'

By giggling nihilist

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

- standing still, quieted by the late hour of night, early hour of morning, staring still, looking glass image, and knowing all the things that could release from you at this moment, when you lean closer... make peace with your reflection and move slowly towards the door reaching only your arm out to the doorknob, at first... and as you do so, grasp the knob and pull the rest of your body along with you, thank your reflection, for the projection, the ability to address yourself, undress yourself, break the mirrors, and forget yourself. - Written January 9th, 2002 © on Jan 09 2002 02:51 PM PST   0 • 10
