Attrition

Reflections

Attrition


I am a mirror
Not ordinary
I am here to send you strength
To show your darkest fears

You hold my body to see yourself
In naked lights
Dark silhouettes crystallize at bedtime
I give myself totally so you may see your dreams

I ask nothing more than to let me love
Without walls, without words
Without thought, without lies
To take me in and breathe my mind

That is really yours, my friend
In reversed relief, you see your face
Deep within my eyes
And so you stare transfixed

All the good and bad, all the passing years
Gelled within fine webs of light
Surrounding the space between
Within and through
And what you do, you do with what you will
