She's a Mirror Ball

She says I hide behind silence -- I’m a human ellipsis

And when my lover tries to spar, I duck and weave and hide

She’s a mirror ball, reflecting my chaotic light

She says I hide behind walls of ill-defined pathologies

And when my lover’s eyes, they…they glisten in the dark, Oh--

I swoon…She’s a mirror ball, so I become like the new moon

She’s a mirror ball, so I become like the new moon

She comes to me, naked, unadorned

Holy inner light, starshine in the night

She speaks to me, in foreign tongues, I falter

She sings to me—mystic melodies

Offerings in the night, stardust in my eyes

She’s a mirror ball, reflecting my chaotic light

She’s a mirror ball, and I swoon, as I become like the new moon

She says I hide behind silence -- I’m a human ellipsis.

When my lover presses me to profess my love too soon

I duck and weave and swoon—

She’s a mirror ball, so I become like the New Moon

Oh, I swoon--she’s a mirror ball as I become like the new moon

Watch me swoon— she’s a mirror ball, as I become like the new moon.
