The Looking Glass

I don't recognize
the shadows under my eyes
the lines by my lips

I know the stretch marks
my apostrophes for cheeks
the scar from a fall


I laugh at myself
as white hairs peek through red dye
springing up like weeds


a skeleton leaps out
a visage reflecting light
wearing a grimace

I'd look to see whose,
but the sadness in my eyes
can't get close enough
