How can I?When the gaping holewithin me grows. Left there bybetrayal after betrayalnever fully healing. I am a scaredwounded childdesiring a reprieve. “Trust me”you say withsincerity.

I walk hypnotically In slow motion Toward the unreachable horizon Lured by a shimmering mirage Lying between the wavering sky And the quivering ground The datum points Where sunset plunges down And the world’s golden eye Loses her crown Mesmerized I mindfully turn my back On nightfall’s widening crack Until my weary eyes Awaken to hear the sound Of moon shadows Haunting her sacred groundA Mirror Image Of You
