Not beautiful or even clear;
But a scene, a single image stands,
I ponder and the ink drips silently onto page.

A lake, a tree, a far off sunset,
Too romantic, too unreal.
A cluster of nettles perhaps,
Or a mud-stained park;
Few birds or even worms, little presence of living.

A bench - scratched and worn,
A memory - toppled from its cold stone pinth;
A puddle - no stream - murky and shallow.
No reflection there.

No image of the other side of myself, to gaze upon.
A sharp breath,
Fog and dark clouds are shadows of death.
A whisper of life - myself.
The air is a shapeless weight,
There is no clear reflection here.
