abstractly alone
by Beth K HannahPut myself into pen
Clear myself on paper
Make it all seem easy
Beautiful
And full of life
And when I can't
Find the mirror's reflection
The smooth penny
The covered scars
Then nothing fits me.
I end up alone
Distracted and confused
By a third medium
Floating like star flakes
Never touching eternity
No place exists where the sun
Hits the glass shards
Putting them back together
Rolling it all away
And embracing the golden door. 06/09/2003 Author's Note: "As I slowly start to exhale, that's when you leave the room." -Ani Difranco
