She believes she is herself, which isn’t complete madness, it’s belief…
a surface of water in an uninhabited world…
you wouldn’t think of her form by thinking about water…
--Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge
sidewalk portals still ponding after the rain
shards reflect trunk & limbs slight dawn of
sky peeks of pinks & blue nimbus spring
scent of warm wood steeps in still air
this morning my antithesis falls
into the pooled mirror a better universe
straddled between seasons the spectre of
a looking glass I gaze in & remember I am
water in a younger world I could disappear in concentric ripples
