[title] => I looked in the mirror one night
[time] => 2005-12-19 14:54:50
[hometext] => Just an experiment, tell me if it works
[bodytext] => I can see my reflection. It stares back As if it is someone other than me I see a siren With wide eyes And a bold nose With lips shaped like a bow Perhaps the words could be Eros’ arrows Just maybe And that face So ovular, and pale And my hair hangs around it Dark and straight Shimmers as a models might I flip it and it falls down my back I look in the mirror A black camisole Stretches around my breasts And over my stomach which while flat with muscle Is rounded with baby’s softness near the navel And love on the side I stand sideways and stare at myself My shape melts away and I am someone Smaller, lovelier. I face the mirror Curvy Almost heavy And almost strong There’s a small sliver of pastel skin Where the black top parts from the black bottoms Teasing I see I relax then Not posing How is it With no make up No show In these black cotton pajamas I am finally beautiful And no one is there to see it but me?
