Also Human
Or vacuum wrapped in skin
A pale blue crystalline layer
Covers the silvered metal
In the reflection — a figure waves with hands and feet
The left turns into the right
Is the figure behind the glass
Also human?
Is the figure behind the glass
Only a vacuum wrapped in skin?
Stretch out a hand — it stretches
Squint an eye — it squints
Drop the jaw — it drops
But if I feel — do its insides tighten too?
Crystal is hard…
Yet fragile under pressure
It feels too much
And so the cracks appear
Cracks and diamond dust
No human shape remains
Only memories
A pale blue crystalline layer covers nothing anymore
In Dance with Personal Madness,
