Replying to a comment on:
Alterpiece (Free verse) by Torok
(a meditation of
lust, desire and love)
study: A lady in her bedroom
'Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is most beautifull?'
If you heard the answer
'you are'
It does not come from the mouth in the mirror
That shapes not words but silent kisses
As you rise from the bed
Making no noise, no interuption
They move over to you in the air
As wax coats cheese,
They stand you up smiling there
Before the mirror
Shaping and preserving
You as beautiful
Because they feel you so
That you see through what the eye says
To the body that the hands have made
And this is what it is that prays
'i am , i am'
