Mirror

I see your face
and i weep
angels and demons
can not put right the pieces that have fallen
apart

this shattered art
stained glass windows and
fragments of sea glass

the screaming inconsistency of your absence
knowing it is not you who is gone

broken keyboard words repeal
sometimes i can not feel
but i try

I stretch out my wings and shiver
in morning light without you
knowing that
without you
i can fly

And i laugh when i hear your words
because they are my words
you have stolen

like you have
stolen
so much

time
effort
love

If only i could begrudge you that
love and tea
sympathy

but i close my eyes and
smile
sunlight and shadows

a lie
