Thank you for your lovely comment.
Echo
It caught my eye, my shadow, as it ran,
My bad luck, and it had a plan.
No doubt new friends for play
Were what it wanted, since it went away.
I had often giggled when
It dug lines in my forehead
Or stole oil from my hair to dye its gown.
Feeling it drive its needle through my heart
I had often laughed and enjoyed licking the blood.
You want to please your pets. I began
To fear it was disgusted since it ran;
Unprepared on laughing to hear rise
Tenfolded echoes, scattering mimicries,
Across the hills and fields and the far skies.
