Mirror

  

When I look in the mirror

Your face slides in view

My eyes are not mine

They're not the usual blue

They're untamed, carefree

Sowing wild oats

Traveling the world

Reining down slopes

Galloping in corridors

Different and new

Searching lost venues

Taking your cues

The terrain gets steeper

The path is unsure

Faster and deeper

A quick changing tour

Now a wild wavy river

The territory divides

A quaint pressing shower

A scar you can’t hide

Catching your gaze

Through the high mountain pass

But the mirror’s too small

Please, a bigger glass…
