Mirrored Scars

Reflections shifting suddenly, breaking from the past,
Wide-eyed stares, strange images, new feelings, new faces aware
- through the looking glass.

Finger tips examining with sweet velvet care,
lingering and remembrances,
a moment so rare.

Palm to palm, eyes never straying new found faces,
the world turns upside down and you feel the switch of
places.

Shocked, pale, memories start their fading...
screams and pleas quiet down,
the ghost child stands there waiting.
