i don’t quite grasp
how beauty finds
beauty in me
by now
i should be used
to shifting definitions
but there is
still a persistent
sense of disbelief
which i ought
dismantle
call it wonder
instead
embrace
being embraced
forget the questions
look in no mirrors
look
no further than at
the look in her eyes
looking into mine
remember that
beauty reflects.
