Educating Narcissus
Show a distorted
Image almost
a picture of
Dorian Gray.
Display in good enough
Light, invite
Introspection.
The image pointing
Through the grotesque,
The distended
Wanting horror
To shock
And drama and
Show no mercy.
Never – invite in
Pain.
Wanting the subject to
Ask, is that how
People see me?
Is that How
You
See me?
Is that really
Me? The answer
always
Yes!
To me
As horrible as the image you see
And more
And worse
Bloody and bleeding
Seething knot
Weeded seedlings
Killing, tangling
Feeding a never.
They in handsome
Refrain, now
Strained fighting to
Escape change in
Small things, notice
The armaments, denial
Shame, angling to
Reframe, growth may
Arrive next and
Demand sought to
End Pain, transgress
Frustrate this
No more.
