The Double Life |
At the top of the stairs is a locked room |
My secret chamber that no outsider views |
For entry is forbidden prohibited |
Behind this door is my other self |
Not a picture in a frame nor a fresh disguise |
But my other self, immobile inert and sanguine |
My narcissus kisses exhale crimson breath |
And pump ruby to the lip |
I stand before myself not Jekyll nor Hyde |
Not sibling nor twin separated at birth |
I stand before myself unaccountable |
I dreamt that I had feet of clay |
I dreamt I crossed the seven seas |
And when I woke not knowing |
I knew I led the double life |
All I ever needed is twice removed |
I spit my bile in an airless temper |
In this vacuum a vampire reversed |
This one who breathes life into me |
And even dull mirrors reflect the tarnished twosome |
I stand before myself not another me |
Not doppelganger nor witless clone |
I stand before myself unrepentant |
I dreamt of sin and aftermath |
I dreamt of centuries laid bare |
And when I woke not knowing |
I knew I led the double life |
