When the bottle collapses the smoke stares back
It sees me better
Than a glass eye
Smirking creepily
I’m patiently waiting for it to change
Like the moments taken away
Helpnessness is an emptiness
That blocks out empowerment
It takes courage to reconfigure the empowered
To put your power in its place
And to recognize
That the mask must come down
