Mirror You, Mirror Me
We are so rarely seen as we really are. Mirrors only reflect the reversal of our image. Imagine the world in which your reverse self in the mirror inhabits. Allow your mirror self to completely embody the dark side of your nature that you would never actualize in this reality. Don't hold back. Be honest with your darkness. Change your name if necessary. Win goes to whoever excites the animus the most.
Animus
What looks at me from the mirror
speaks in backwards
tongue
I say "hi,"
The mirror listens
and says, "I."
"Aye...!?!" I ask
my reflection in horror
the mirror answers
in short,
"Eye."
I look more closely
crossing both my eyes
vainly
wondering which one
the right or the left?
I turn east and west
and the mirror
shakes its head.
