Shadow

Self Portrait: Shadow © Heidi Spitzig

and so

what if

i break

the

glass?

 

what

breaks

but the

shell,

 

the

fragile

mask of

entrapment.

 

and

what

then

becomes

exposed?

 

layer

after

bloody

layer

of

suffering.

 

and

beyond

that?

 

an

empty

hollow

 

the

echo

before

my

birth

 

the

still

shadow.
