Driving a bat

to the mirror on her

wall, she picks up a shard and

stares into its face. ‘Vanity lacerates

those that hold its edges too

close to their veins.’

    Within a drug addict dream,
    reality
    born from fantasy screams…
    Complex imagination,
    answers, question
    forever unseen…

    One persons delusions, is another persons reality!
