into the mirror she alters
perspective in order
to salvage some coherence
amidst the whirl
of myriad personas
anger is her 3rd rail
a dangerous electricity
inhabits her low back
afternoon reflects her outline
a suspect genealogy
someone of partial remembrance
a bony contour
a hand-me-down clock
the leotard her body danced
she exchanges herself with time
emerges partial
to her own integration
