Some mornings
the mirror is a stranger,
a fiction.
The freak of night
has snaked out
from dreams
and stands here in my stead.
Some mornings
I sleep through my reflection
and an automaton
scrapes the stubble from my face
ignorant of hazard.
Some mornings
the witchy question
doesn't seem appropriate
and fairest
is farthest
from my lips.
