K. Coleman, Narcissus

strutting

royal toes touch lightly

                                      tile floors

forgetting how much more like pawns

we are

                    naked

touching one another with gloved hands

                    reach in g   o u t

on bended knee

                  heads bowed

                 fingers touch glass
shards
                 bring another seven years

Statement: Inspired by Metamorphosis of Narcissus by Salvador Dali.
