the reflection in the mirror
Linda M. Crate
i know you want to burn me with fire, but i am immune to death; as i always have been one of the day walkers who can taste the sun without cringing so your threats of sun mean nothing to me for i have tasted many sunsets and sunrises and each of them is more beautiful and more full of depth and insight than any of the narrow thoughts housed in you— i dreamed of you, in the gates of hell, but you would call me a demon; i only kill out of necessity you do so out of want and so you’ll see the true monster is the reflection in your mirror.
