Zareh Chouchanian: LOOKING FOR SOMEONE IN THE MIRROR

I am lost in a wood

Made of stone

People and flesh

I’m tied up in a web

Made of love and tenderness

Where I am the spider

And the fly

I thought I could run  

I could fly

I thought I could die

But I couldn’t

I forgot who I am

How I was

Where I was

From where I came

I forgot now and then

Now I’m waiting

For something to happen

Someone to come

To remind

To re-find

A name

A face

A place

There’s nothing

All the same

Time

Space

Just a plane mirror

To help me get out

Nothing will

Nothing can

I don’t live

I can’t die

I can only shout

Cry

Louder and louder

Who am I
