My Face Reflecting In a Glass
my face reflecting in a glass was small;
the face looked sure, was sensible, yet appeared
to be a kind of abashed, intimidated and embarrassed,
as the glasses add up one, two and more and more
moon rises, clouds drift, and the wind passes
to stir up the glass rippled brim over
and as glasses grow taller
the thunder roars on the flower bloomed field,
the chirr of crickets slowly diminishes, covered with
fallen leaves, then the blizzard, carried by the north wind,
raving through the wilderness where the ruins all have abandoned
then, when the glasses come crumbling down
because of the height of the weight,
my face with the whole of sorrow
from a prolonged time of mistreatment and abuse reflecting
on each and every scattered piece of broken glass tears
to fill the gap between the world of reality and illusion
