I dreamed I saw myself
clearly for the first time
…reflected in your eyes.
I objectified myself in an unconscious realm
…translucent shroud thrown over consciousness
seeing in dreams how we see ourselves clearly.
Reason on recess when I wake
you beside me touching me
…gravity and time have changed my form.
Your touch exposes my embarrassment
aging vanity sulking in the corner
…always nearby never satisfied.
When you see me as I once saw myself
my desire to become a better person
seems questionable…let me sleep on it.
