I do not know who I am
mirrors reflect, and yet
I cannot see the symmetry
between myself and
this ghost of me.
sometimes I catch a glimpse—
a blurred reality
flying by out of sight
from train car windows—
but I cannot seem to
connect my fragmented being
back together
(I’m running thin on opacity
my mind is filled with vacancy).
