“Things I dislike: sleeping in an apartment alone”
Susan Sontag, diary, February 21, 1977
“I, who have felt the horror of mirrors”
Jorge Luis Borges, “Mirrors”
it was no mirror
but words from a diary
that showed me to me
the one who let you sleep alone
despite my only true desire
being me and you intertwined
so that others could not tell
where you ended and i began
i wake to a gray day of rain
only cracker crumbs sharing my sheets
