Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose

Who Are You

I answered the door quickly
For I was expecting a friend
I stared at the three-dimensional being
Who looked like me.

Who are you? I asked; I was barely breathing.
My clone laughed as if delighted.
Are you here from another planet? I thought.
She threw back her head and laughed harder.

I tried to blank my mind.
Not easy to do with all of these feelings.
She reached over and pulled out my heart.

Shirley Hawkins November 14, 2021 at 7:37 PM Goodness! Fancy coming face to face with yourself..... Caren Krutsinger November 14, 2021 at 9:32 PM In meditation this is the top of the mark Shirley. I took my nine-year-old daughter to a meditation once, and the instructor asked what we had seen. My daughter was the only one who had seen herself. This is the TOP apparently.

L Milton Hankins November 14, 2021 at 9:06 AM Oh wow, I don't know what to say about this one. What a creative idea, opening your front door and find yourself standing there. Original concept! Caren Krutsinger November 14, 2021 at 9:32 PM Thank you so much. This was a writing prompt. You were supposed to answer the door and say who you saw.
