All of Mankind



Feet crunch on broken shards
of glass, unshielded by shoes
or any other protection.
Stepping beyond the mirror,
its worthlessness reflected
in its own facial features,
the people went.
Seven years without luck
created this: a portal.
Now, as they all stride
into the deepest part
of themselves, I worry
just what it is they will find.
