I caught a
glimpse of myself
as I opened my
car door
yesterday

a face
I don't really
know
stared back at me

it looked eighty

bitter eyes
sharp lines in my
skin

a girl raped of her
innocence
I suppose

you know it's been
millions of years
since I've talked to you

I feel like you
died

let me touch the snow again
in the days
before I had to
sever you
from my side

let me hold your hand
the simplest things that
haunt me

let me pretend that
I don't really know the
truth

or better yet

let me
remember
the girl
under my skin
you
took away

Hey hey hey, jenny may, whada ya say?! I've never read yer work before, but I'm glad I did. Your poem had a specific kind of feeling to it...reflection and longing. Very subtle yet clear...I like it. keep it real.

Wonderful poem. It really makes you feel, well, it made me feel the confusen, and the pain.

I guess everyone feels like this sometime in their lives.

Excellent poem, keep up the good stuff.

Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.

Wow. This is like a reflection of myself.
I like the way you write, straight and cutting...a replica of what you're feeling.
I'm going to print this, it's great...sort of scary, but REAL. I sometimes don't want to look in the mirror...

Look forward to seeing more of your work.
