Not me

 

I\'m not the one looking in the mirrors; 

night!... the image that hides in its shadow,

a trace lost in the secrets of mirrors.

 

Faces!...the glare of light is pale, desolate -and-

I\'m the one who lost his face before the light was born.

 

It\'s not my face that\'s reflected! 

unity in multiplicity, an unknown sea.

Within and beyond existence, 

a void! a nothingness!, not me!.

 

A mirror, a series of reflections, an endless series...

 

Me, lost in the depths of mirrors,

someone who reflects on himself,

I am a shadow with no beginning and no end.

 

Mirrors! Many and nothing

a mirage! an illusion! a dream!

I\'m not the one looking in the mirrors.
