A mirrorball sits deep in his chest,
Unreadable, but throwing light onto
The ceiling, making patterns and
Twisting with each step and ripple.
Bending through grey sinew and plasma,
Refractions miss neither orifice nor opening.
Unbound by skin or upstretched ligament,
Green replaces red and flickers on.
By the light you scan his bookshelf;
A titular knowledge of the man himself.
Emerge, resolved to delve inside
To see reflections shine and shadows dance.
And meet your own lights,
Form new shades,
Casting secondary colours onto the white above.

A mirrorball sits deep in his chest,
Unreadable, but throwing light onto
The ceiling, making patterns and
Twisting with each step and ripple.
Bending through grey sinew and plasma,
Refractions miss neither orifice nor opening.
Unbound by skin or upstretched ligament,
Green replaces red and flickers on.
By the light you scan his bookshelf;
A titular knowledge of the man himself.
Emerge, resolved to delve inside
To see reflections shine and shadows dance.
And meet your own lights,
Form new shades,
Casting secondary colours onto the white above.
