More Than Myself

 Not that it was beautiful,
but that, in the end, there was
a certain sense of order there;
something worth learning
in that narrow diary of my mind,
in the commonplaces of the asylum
where the cracked mirror
or my own selfish death
outstared me .
.
.
I tapped my own head; it was glass, an inverted bowl.
It's small thing to rage inside your own bowl.
At first it was private.
Then it was more than myself.
