I press on the elastic sheet, I'm breathing through a slice



'Are the worms or are the serpents?' bubbles through the ice



The source was quite invisible, the ever-present voice



While skating, both legs tracing different shapes, I made my choice





Mimicking the image in whose radiance I bask



I'm tied to him, or him to me, depending who you ask



None the less reluctantly reflections tumble in



I slide with all the other on the wrong side of the skin





He's fallen on the ice, it cracks



Will he plunge in and join me here?



He meets my eyes, to my surprise



He laughs in full light of my frown



My double wants to pull me down





Slipping on the friction slide, my skin peels to the bone



The flesh I leave behind, is something that is not my own



I beg my mirror image for a moment with my soul



He's leaning back, time to attack, to see who's in control





And every move I make he's got a hand up just in time



He's throwing several punches, and he's blocking most of mine



Defeated now I sulk and squirm above the frozen heights



Waiting, calculating till he ventures onto the ice.
