the mirror looks
different now
the reflection
of truth is blurred
the man
from the other
side
has faded into
foggy thoughts
and this vivid
illusion
makes me
question
my existence
2
and the universe
messaged me
by sending a
little bird
to sit behind
the window in the morning
yet her knocking
pecks at the glass
couldn't awaken
me
or maybe i
didn't want the bird
of my dream
to disappear
