Non-being to behold

You're but reflected
in the back-sides
of my sights.

Just like a dragonfly.
I see things double.

First, as they come on up behind me
as reflections
in the dark and lonely lenses
of my world-view.

And second,
past their getting even with me,
as they run over, and ahead,
making me a shadow of themselves.

And that's exactly what I am.
The fly.
The chimera.
The not in-human drag-on.

Relentlessly they drag on, like the words
un-said, and thus un-heeded.

Or, some birds
up on a high wire, a long time not working.

All but reflections.
Same in repetition.
Of quivering dismembrance,
to behold
this otherwise unholdable non-being.
