Two of self

It is raining again...

through the glass, I see my own image

reflecting in the fine mist,

undigested concious thought mustered into view..

I watch myself fold to the earth,

blindly searching with deft fingers

in the silver dirt, among fleshy worms,

gathering the dead wood,carrying branches of bereavement..

I cannot turn away, rigid so as to snap,

involuntary footsteps move forward..

The closer to myself I come, the quicker the dissipation

the continual erosion

Until all that is left is the thunderous rain

in the mournfully numb empty..
