REFLECTIONS (2)

as darkness falls
images in me
are swept aside,

a curtain falls
on the stage
while the panorama
is rolled away,

for a nighttime
of pure emptiness

void and dark
dark and void

in darkness
i face myself
in absolute terror
of nothing to reflect
upon

my mirror is shattered
into infinite shards
crumbles into
powdered sheen
and disappears
in the dark

at the crack of dawn
i retrieve its dust
make it in my image
of myself
and restore the mirror
to the world of sight
