The Double Life
At the top of the stairs is a locked roo
My secret chamber that no outsider view
For entry is forbidden prohibite
Behind this door is my other sel
Not a picture in a frame nor a fresh disguis
But my other sel
Immobile inert and sanguin
My narcissus kisses exhale crimson breat
And pump ruby to the li
I stand before myself not Jekyll nor Hyd
Not sibling nor twin separated at birt
I stand before myself unaccountabl
I dreamt that I had feet of cla
I dreamt I crossed the seven sea
And when I woke not knowin
I knew I led the double lif
All I ever needed is twice remove
I spit my bile in an airless tempe
In this vacuum a vampire reverse
This one who breathes life into m
And even dull mirrors reflect the tarnished twosom
I stand before myself not another m
Not Döppleganger nor witless clon
I stand before myself unrepentan
I dreamt of sin and aftermat
I dreamt of centuries laid bar
And when I woke not knowin
I knew I led the double life
