Like a Fly in a Highball

A.J. Huffman

Dance down the center of the dots.
Make it sharp,
like a razor before its blades.
You cut my eyes in two
or three
thousands of pieces
at peace — all images in their own light,
but still part of the whole.
That thing that is not me,
though I often see it
in my mirror, Snarling bloody hate.
That is the shape of fear.
Turn it around
and the picture is clear
                            ly dead.
But aren’t we all?
At least, in our heads.
