I paused for a brief moment

Turned my head

And saw you revealed

Nude in the mirror

For all the world to see

But I thought it was

For my view

Alone

I saw a trick of light

Of want and desire

Of hunger and necessity

They played tricks with me

The image in the mirror

I never knew

The true you...

I turned my head

For a brief moment

Which spanned years...

To find a stranger

Looking back at me...

In return.
