she said when you look deep
she sees nothing
“beware the mirror”
it’s just the beginning
to busy fittin’
in- an missin’
what was really meant for you
spinnin’ in a stew
of yesterday.
look into the mirror
you’re biggest admirer

she said when you look deep
she sees nothing
“beware the mirror”
it’s just the beginning
to busy fittin’
in- an missin’
what was really meant for you
spinnin’ in a stew
of yesterday.
look into the mirror
you’re biggest admirer
you are everything i love
& everything i hate-
such a strong word
more of despise
like when you order waffles
& get pancakes-
enjoy this
but i will remember how you treated me.
so now- only order something simple
eggs hash an some juice
(& to whoever is watching from above
you bring me pancakes i’ll trot walk heavenly stairs
to find you)
to those who scream:
you can’t control the outcome,
you’re right- it’s not the goal
but if we can start the day the right way
i like our chances
loose colors
twisting the ends
slapping the packet against tired wrist
i can feel
the end
grasping against air
pressed against my throat
inching forward
bloody nails held vacant
wasp fingernails to the hive
only one queen
