Cloudy Mirror

looking for mirrors
we fall in love with that which reflects us
back to ourselves most beautifully

enraptured with our uniqueness
we become entangled

Japan is like that

in the exoticism & sweetness
of loving a mystery
we play at magic
we see ourselves as honored outsiders in the floating world
glorious intruders, glimmering explorers

so of course it's a tedious thing
to remove the webbing, a filament at a time
place the shining fibres aside
look into the mirror

squint hard to see ourselves
from another angle
in another light
