Mirror, Mirror
You are the one who captured
My silhouette .
I watched helpless
As you made me
Go beyond your reflecting face
Out of my reach
In a beyond space
Telescoping hemmed in
On a conical path arriving
Into a Point, glimpsed :
Infinity, out there disjoint
From the Reals here .
On a dreaming Plum Tree
I am I a rare Plum .
I see You and He
Two fleshes merge into One :
Empty Two Zeros come alive
Through the lips within your Flowers .
River of Time has stopped
Its flow for Two .
Your silent orange sparks
Awakens the trembling hidden Moon
