To reflect upon this hall of mirrors,
oblong, obverse, opposite of reverse,
reflect upon a coin, flipping through space,
even-steven, this world full of errors,
full of joys, full of terrors, bittersweet,
laughing, crying, restless sleeping, light dreams,
endless screams reverberate in shadows,
countless memories, what is the inverse,
the real world, flashing, fleeting, set in place,
until phenomena shifts, the death throes
push identity beyond the heartbeat
of recognition, pressure splits the seams,
nudges a sense of difference from before
to years later, assess, address, redress
history, personal, spiritual,
impossible now to settle the score,
since people change over decades, suppress
human instinct, vengeance perpetual,
aspects of people change over the years,
let alone three decades, revenge absurd,
let memories subside, the bride long gone,
only harm begets harm, violence bears
fierce horrors of childhood, no shame, no blame,
murder abandoned for sanity sake,
in the face of trauma, the need to smile,
remember to laugh at God, in a word,
resemblant of mirror image, times done,
old and new, black and blue, too bruised to file
right past the last fifty years, what a game,
silence, behind closed doors, life is heartbreak.
