Reflection

mirrors hide more than darkness does 

my face a fish hook 

plunged into my own eyes

I cannot tear away

see until I don’t

Self is no more

only parts remain

nose eye lip scattered 

once a whole ship

now flotsam drifting ashore

once a sinking ship

now flotsam afloat

shipwreck’s are neutral to a vessel 

death to the captain 

in freedom i drown
