In Front of the Mirror
Jessi Wallace

Finally I'm enjoying
as much pleasure
as my doppelganger,

My mirrored self
appearing ridiculous
and smacked

from a place the
sun set on
long ago.

Reflections unify and
make my spine reverberate
synchronically

with those who had
euphoric tarp-covered sessions
in Woodstock.

I'll let my nipples slip
through calculated crocheted holes
in reverence of those

who sat down
in the happy mud.
