Pictures taken down
from the mirror
above the doll bought
from Japan last summer
The yellowish cattish
stuffed creature
still stares at
my three white hairs
as I found them
protesting
against the sea of
darkness in my
stained distorted reflection
Your closed eyes
burn me wordlessly
as the first time
you gave me the look
