The mirror image is screaming through the breaking glass,
Asking whether it can leave me
Back in the past.
And I am leaking blue eyeliner tears in my morning coffee
Over yet another honed thought
Trying to cut me.
Who knows why one would choose to live in this mind
Seemingly made and controlled
By an enemy of mine.
Each move I make is a misstep but you already knew this –
It takes one look to notice
My eyes serve Anubis.
But it takes two to carry the weight in my secret pockets
So I cover the mirror again,
I chain and lock it.
My reflection objects less and less each coming evening.
It must have noticed how fast
Our chest is bleeding.
