More Than Any Alice Could Imagine

After wandering lost,

circling familiar trails,

I brought us here again:

a reflection in a mirror

of a mirror’s reflection.

If I turned to you now,

my face in your eyes,

your face in my eyes,

and supposed

a vision of love,

would much change

from what it was,

or what we have become?
