Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god

Mirror mirror off the wall

It's magnificent,
The way a mirror shatters
From the start of some
Gentle crack from years ago.
It spider-cracks its way
All over the face,

Like age on an elderly person.

Then the pieces of glass fall,
One by one, to the ground,
Like teeth from a rotting mouth.

Then I came,
Stepped on all the shards
Till they stuck in my feet.

And I could see myself
On the bottom of my foot,

Till I knew the true feeling
Of being walked on.
