Narcissism

 

 

  An Inner love                             inwordly embraced
  as I sleep                         not slip
  falling                     not fallen
  in the first image                 not mirage
  I remember             drowning in
  the quagmire         of your escape
  that pulled me in to  your illusion
  perverting         not pervading
  every rest thick             as sand and deeper
  than the waters                 you are and
  the love yous                     you were, are, nothing
  more, because                        more and more yours
  became mine                             in airs no thicker than . . .
