Absence

Standing In front of a Mirror

I am standing in front of a mirror,
In the complete and absent darkness,
looking into the inevitable,
looking into an emptiness,
that I can see,
because I want to,
because I am what I want to be,
and yet I am different,
inconsistent,
with what my mind,
saw of myself,
Here I am,
Looking at myself,
in the darkness,
seeing things.
