Reflections

In the nightmarish beat of pulsing life,
I cling to the solidity of your face.
Distored visions of the outside
Flutter across the TV,
Vanishing flickers behing the steamy smoke
Of a crowded animal den.
It was in this jungle we found each other:
We are twin souls, you and I--
If you looked into a mud puddle,
It would be my drowning eyes you saw.
