The water was running fast…
And loud from outside the window:
‘’they’re collecting years like they’re sticks and stamps.’’/
In my bathroom there’s a large mirror
A sink below
Oh you’d expect…
My face, an object of the mirror
Skinny-dipping in the mirror
Needs a lie-down
Or maybe a tracking down
But tries to be creative &funny/ like I should
By throwing a silencer
Into this Russian roulette game
Oh features…
Eyes, nose, mouth, ears…
My hands, first in the air
And then like birds
Landing from the mirror to my face
All my senses
Tied together…
