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
