Mirrors
Hand before body
Make sure there is light
Head down
Body tense, fight or flight
Movement, peripheral
Eyes wide, skin pale
Nothing ethereal
This shiny glass
Source of my fear
Is it only in my head
Still I can see her leer
Make sure there is light
Head down
Body tense, fight or flight
Movement, peripheral
Eyes wide, skin pale
Nothing ethereal
This shiny glass
Source of my fear
Is it only in my head
Still I can see her leer

Author's Note
Based on one of my many phobias. This is a nightly standoff with my bathroom mirror.
