If you look closely, you can see right through
me. If you pay attention, it becomes
clear. See, this house is formed of windows. View
is plain. Voyeurs devour, weakness succumbs.
Peer in. These organs, vulnerable, displayed
as artefacts on pedestals of bone
and fascia, are my fickle fixtures laid
bare. Spectacles, admired, keep time alone.
This busy mind is open to trained eyes;
translucent skull pronounces mirrored words.
Illusion savours seven years’ disguise,
presents observer’s image, features blurred.
Now, caution any neighbour looking in:
spectator is spectated from within.
