I became your mirror.



I remembered your conversations
about a child losing innocence

as we walked on the heath that day
long after he had gone
I instinctively picked up a stick
pointed it at you
shouted bang
and killed the woman who chased him away

you snapped then
snapped the stick, snapped at me
you would not blame yourself of course not

that day I did not lose my innocence
YOU gave me guilt.

and I became your mirror.
