Untitled #13

This morning
I looked into the mirror
And didn’t recognize
The eyes
Staring back at me—
Orange sunflowers
Both
In the middle
Of perfectly round
Dark green backdrops,
The right one
Darker than the left.
They spoke to me
With a hidden language
That only eyes
Can understand—
“I’ve got you.”
