Child Of The Mirror

by

Clarius Ugwuoha

"My evil stare
Thrown backwards
Hit me to the floor -
Was that I,
That scowling wreath?"

"Mirror, no
It's not true It's I
it's unfair of you mirror!"

You've,mirror-child,
Woken on the wrong side,
A crying child first thing in the morning...

Noon,
Third cry for the day
No difference from the others
Only that the throat cracked,parched
As of now, croaked clouder with painful spurts...

Dashed expctations - daggers - ripped
Through your heart.

"I close my eyes:

"Louder cries,
Oceans of tears
Drown
Men.
Floods
Eat
Giant structures

It's tension here
Khaki boots kicking through
Floundering in the flood..."

It's a pity
Image of the mirror
Is it true you know not
Your right from your left?'

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Confusing Love
