This week, I’ve got a short little poem for you on, unsurprisingly, the topic of ‘reflections’. It’s one of those where I’ve used the actual, physical idea of a reflection along with the more metaphorical/mental interpretation as well, which is always fun. If you like this sort of poetry, feel free to check out my new poetry book Commute (available as a free ebook and in print!).
Reflections
I keep seeing familiar faces in reflections,
not knowing that they are only ghosts
of the people I once loved.
When strangers wear features
of those I thought I knew so well
I wonder whether I ever knew them at all.
