The mirror

 Oct 2014 daisies
Marissa Kohlman
All day I watch the horrors of modern life come screaming in on four wheels with lights flashing
    “Code Blue, ER, Room 6!”
    “Code Blue, ER, Room 6!”
I drive home exhausted
Spacing out to familiar tunes as the wind blows my hair away from my face
Letting the emotional baggage of the work day slip out the window into the night air
    But still
That tenseness in the shoulders remains.

Then I walk in the door
And two pairs of eyes
    Both the same shade of rusty brown
And two smiles
One toothless
The other filled with perfect shining white teeth
    Both glowing with love
Greet me.

This is who I do it for.

I kiss one chubby little cheek
    I kiss one set of waiting lips
And my shoulders relax.
To my family: my remedy and my purpose, for you I will do anything.  Who needs wine when you have baby kisses?
To you, my life is,
Or it is not, you aren't sure;
You really don't know.
So what am I really like?
And honestly, do you care?

Speak without your thoughts
Support your chin on your hand
Write without your eyes.
daydream.
my mind was a fog...
my heart became a bomb
then the quiet explosion
turning into tiny particles...
floating through empty space
like a valley with no echo
holding your absence
shored against the ruins...
drowning in ten directions
i could hear the water
at the edge of all things
in the middle of this nowhere
hope becomes a loss.
new thoughts
bounce around my mind
as fireflies did
when I used to lie awake
the sky-light opening
the star-light showing
and ice-wind blowing
as I took a breath
and believed all was right.
There were no answers                                                      
                                     for the questions I asked
There were no solutions                                                    
                                           to the problem I felt
There had been days                                                          
                                    when I didn't know why
There were stars in my vision                                          
                                     when I fell from the sky.
the bells ring and ring
distant and unimportant
but they speak warning.
