for days since I’ve been back
I am in
two places
at once
living here & there
two parallel lives
I walk across this room
here
and my twin ghost
walks with me
there
in that other house
wait, which is the ghost?
which is real?
this or that
or both
or none?
I can’t be sure
every moment is
mirrored in my mind
am I remembering?
or is the other side of the mirror
just as true
as this?
I stand in this kitchen, I fill this kettle
I am standing in that kitchen, I am filling the other
I am present in both places
here & there
then & now
I can feel my double life fully
yet sometimes,
it’s too much
my heart is stretched
scrambled across worlds
where is the ground
in this mixed reality?
parts of me
are still everywhere
still arriving
still
waiting
