Recluse
Lying amongst the dankness
surrounded by greenery and ashy smoke
cigarettes breathe out life
sweet yet poisonous
to the swaying vines gasping,
their green lungs crying out for substance.
The mirror above weeps
as it watches my descent
bright tears shatter the air
as it swallows my body
and envelopes my form.
Drowning myself in my own madness
with glassy pupils I see now
and am able to breathe freely again.
A few photographs from the series Summer's End, a collaboration of two photographers: Emily McHugh and Poppy Velluto.

Catoptrics
When I gaze into my optic mirror
the world loses focus, shapes blur
and people disappear one by one.
I see myself albeit briefly,
the reflection quickly darkening
over the looking glass.
The mirror is safeguarded
tightly locked away from my grasp,
I am forbidden to use it.
My self-perception is hidden amongst
the thick black strokes that frame the glass.
My optic mirror teases me so,
it gives more than just reflections,
it parades memories in my face
that bring a sting to my chest and
water to my cheeks
as the glass fades away.
If I stare too much
I will get lost amongst the flecks
of mahogany and umber that decorate
the seeing glass.
