NOT NARCISSUS NOW

NOT NARCISSUS NOW,

physical in flesh

or firmly phantasized

mental, as if the model

who has other dreams,

(no doubt, no doubt)

sweats solely for the artist

and not for the light

that glistens

across his chest

as a new

religion’s ancient

reflection, discovered

again and again.

There must be no doubt,

one has one’s

own reflection.
