This entry is for January Project at Cafe Writing for Option Four: Poetry.
“In silence and movement you can show the reflection of people.”
— Marcel Marceau
Using the quotation above as your inspiration, write a poem (any form is fine) about reflection.
inside the mirror she sees
a blurry mass of flesh
the colors fading upon her misplace skin
wavering in and out of the white space of time
"where am I?" she ask the face on the other side
fingers pointing in disappointment
"why is she here?"
she turns her fingers into a fist
and smash it against the cheek of the other face
slivers of lines begins to swim in zigzags
emerging cracks still reflects bits and pieces of her
she stares at them with cold eyes
pulls her hand inward, observes the breaking skin
feeling no pain
she turns back to the mirror
and screams "why can I see myself???"
