Split Image Truth

 

Look in the mirror

What do you see?

A Girl.

Hollow eyed

and swimming with ocean breeze.

Sea water creeps down

a sleep softened cheek

and dissipates on

reaching a

cotton shore.

 

A breath of wind

upon which, 

the sound of wet

car wheels

is carried,

flows around

hunched shoulders.

 

As if to comfort,

But only shivers hold her tight.

 

Where to turn to?

What to hold?

Only the eyes 

look back

and somehow

tell the

truth.
