I picked up a shard of metal.
Turning it slowly.
Watching my eyes bend into one another.
Like two companions on a ship,
Guiding the same rudder.

The colours tremble and erratically flutter.
Shimmering Emerald, peridot and amber.

I tightened my grip,
A futile attempt to subdue the carousel of images,
Painting a mosaic on my elbow of the places I visited.
Gentle stirring my thoughts.

Loosening my gaze
The shard eclipsed.
Catching another facet of my eyes and lips.
Worlds apart
I recognise not one.

Mirrors often reveal what’s undone.
