The source is
the Kingdom of Darkness
from there it makes its way upwards
shaped like a glass ball
it lifts itself higher, higher
like an air bubble dislodged from
the gills of a ravenous fish
when it makes its way
into the light of day
it bursts
and forms a small lake
this is the moment
Narcissus awaits
for a long time
he gazes at himself
in the watery mirror
feeling how it fills him
with self - love
