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.”
