Reflections

Look into my eyes
Do you see me or just a
reflection of you?

Narcissus's Granddaughter

The Revenant, , Andrew Wyeth

Like Narcissus enchanted with his reflection

you loved those in whom you saw yourself

lavishing them, me

with your affection

  withholding from those who 

did not mirror

what you wished to see

You were good to me

for you cherished that which

you valued

Even now

you come back to me

in dreams

You are a revenant

Do you return to see me

or to see yourself once more?
