Reflections on a reflection.
The Other Girl

She looks back at me,
watching.
Sometimes just her eyes
sometimes a face
like mine,
but not mine.
Other, as if she
is everything about me
that is beautiful
and good.
She looks into me,
unflinching.
This is who you are,
she says.
This is who you will never be.

And I turn away from the window.
