next step
towards that villanelle
there's
no one in the mirror now
the
fear you had forgets its face
there
is no sign could show you know
long
life's a curse and will calm come?
blank
eyes gaze into blanks of space
there's
no one in the mirror now
the
bones outlive the pointing hand
things
missing must
forget
their name
the fear you
had forgets its face
must
and must not, vanish truth
and truth is
like an hour set stray
there's no
one in the mirror now
the empty
bowl's all there's to say
there is no
sign could show you know
this growl's
for you, for far away
there's
no one in the mirror now
the
fear you had forgets its face
there is no
sign could show you know
blank eyes
gaze into blanks of space
Stunning.
