Focus

The mirror.

Then stoicism.

Frozen and calm.

Focused.

Then moving shakily.
 
Movements, and jolting.

Then I’m focused again.

Moving.

Calm but ready movements.
 
Knocking on the door, but I don’t react.

I can no longer move.

I can blink a little bit, still. 

The mirror is blinking with me.

I am focused.

The mirror.

I am in the mirror.
