Would I Shatter?

(Originally published by HeadStuff website, 2021)

I don’t think

I’ve ever seen

A mirror in

My dreams

Maybe

The worlds

I build are

Too flat

To reflect

Beyond

My own

Plane

I don’t think

I’ve ever seen

People’s faces

In my dreams

Maybe a point

Of a nose

Or a curve

Of a cheek

But no blinking

Eyelashes

No peeling skin

On smirking lips

Maybe

In my dreams

My face is also

A blank canvas

That I don’t know

How to fill in
