It is a morning ritual, this posting of the letters and watching the mystery of your name tattoo across my face.
I can barely sense the seam that separates us in the steam of the mirror.
And I know I have never witnessed that exact moment where you disappear and I am left with myself.

You were right, Donna, I do love this one…and also Penance, which follows it on the web page. The Locked in the Library holds up just as well on the page as it did in the reading….Hope you submit (and publish) all three.

Thanks, Ginny. I always appreciate your feedback and encouragement.
