like glass
I had to look
caught my face
now mirrors and I are not friends
saw myself looking back at myself
I do not know myself
had a loop on it saw what I saw
and don't I know it
what has happened to me
I have got so old
nothing of what I was before
**** I have lost my hair
first clue
I miss my mother
from where I was born
she gave me all I know
giving truth and love to all you know
you will thank yourself for it
be what you are
no more and no less
as she pressed me against her breast.

Love P@ul.
