Mirror

Tracy Windisch Mason

Mirror
Reflection
In the mercury
One can walk away
One is me
One wants beauty
One can truly see
In this hallway of abstractions
And assumptions
Eyes that blindly see
False realities
False absolution
Within which eyes
Within which judgments
Within which devil
Will truly stare back at me
