in the mirror

between shadows and light
I saw the reflection:
how
I ate his words
starving, I ate his words

and
they became my skin
a mighty mitosis
reshaping

a little chin
the freckle above the upper lip
brown irises

I froze
in the suspended hollowness
of a
foreign landscape
once known

I don’t know how long I looked at those
unfamiliar eyes
