Shapeshifters

Posted on by Reena Saxena

A mountain suspects
Its deep-rooted strength
and scalability
a vain King
loves himself and
its unattainability

shapeshifting reflections in water
whisper myriad possibilities
beauty and ugliness,
the real and imagined,
fluid truths in deep-rooted thoughts,
existence draining quietly
by pump or drought

I turn to the solid comfort
of a gleaming mirror
but lights intersect,
playful, bending form,
strategic in their placement,
revealing a different game

-it’s all a perspective
-it’s only a perspective
the real just out of reach
