Clarion of Clarity
Mystical mirror
such a cruel crime
you dare smugly reflect me?
I breathe and toil
while you hang there without effort
my fist should awaken a response
your fist
just as quick
but mine is deadly
you shatter
even as I smirk in victory
I see my defeat
in bloody shards
airborne—a moment of joy
falling and then fallen
I stomp you without sense
my bare feet bloody and sore
but my portrait sparkles now
is it wisdom that shimmers?
in the random geometry of my demise
I wall us in and banish light
what will you do without it?
loneliness wins in the end
I light a candle…
