Dancing With the Mirror -- POEM of the MONTH!



Dancing With the Mirror
  

 Dancing with the mirror
Imagining there’s a beat …
Spinning to the silence 
I stumble on my own feet

Posing with the mirror
Snapping pictures of myself
Posting to the hundreds
On the virtual shelf –

Blowing out candles with lucid whispers
Behind the graffiti-walls of crowded subways

Building a public library
Filled with blurry negatives
Wishing the film in reverse
Swimming in pseudo-sedatives

Dancing with the mirror
In an echo of si-silence
Gripping my partner tightly
The life drips from my hands –

Abandoned hallways, corners and facades
Screaming skyward – piercing spotlights

Dancing with the mirror
I see a second reflection
A face without judgment …
… accept this new connection
