Prose – Distant Presentations


– Distant Presentations –

On the days when I must
make the best of myself,
I am left feeling far too distracted
by the whims of the human world.
My ethereal nature is such
that I am blessed with distance,
but that distance often leaves me
feeling disconnected from myself.

I face the mirror,
lay my hands into the glass,
the imprints of me left behind
as I claw at my reflection,
trying to reach through myself
into the world behind me,
trying to reach through
and tear into my soul.
