Self Portrait, September 2019

“I love you,” I remember
to tell the mirror
that but not this week

two weeks gone
beard scissors drawn
across my cheek

dipped chin down
finger thinned round crown
longing for length

acne shoulder scarred
pectorals triceps hard
I hardly own my strength

am I large enough?
trim that stuff
bend knees

I do not think I am a jail
pale
no cavities

“I love,” you remember
it was this early in September


September 4
