The Beast
Something that was not there before
has come through the mirror
_ into my room.
It is not such a simple creature
as at first I thought_
from somewhere it has brought a mischief
that troubles both silence and objects,
and now left alone here
I weave intricate reasons for its arrival.
They disintegrate. I know
it has shattered even the stars.
At last, the creature has come home to me.
