Fragmented No 31 by DAH

Damned to this cage, looking
at a blotched mirror / this
divided face …

eyes flying in dreams.

Inside self, used up
/ outside this house,
winter’s heaviness …

double light of darkness.

Sometimes in the air, your
eyes appear / not glowing
but slipping …

not rising but falling.

On the street, under a rusted
sky / a young woman laughs
with another …

the wind keeps to itself.
