Hey, you in the mirror reflection!

About self-love

tissue of the town

it’s too tight for that

soaring with the birds

on a clear blue sky

or in cloudy blustery weather

hiding from the rain –

obstacle attack

when I try

to dismantle everything

and observe

all the particles

deflecting in the air

instead

of nitty-gritty

coming onto me

and returning

from the trajectory

right under my feet

after rolling, fledging, twisting

with foreign origin

to become familiar again

with my usual shape

enclosed in a mirror frame

on today’s face

because the person I love the most

is you in the mirror image
