the ignorance you feign

by Karyn Huntting Peters


So you thought I wouldn’t, couldn’t see you,
Feared or sighed relief that I didn’t know you?
I should roll my eyes and laugh out loud
At the ignorance and foolishness of you,
You who first opened your mouth to speak

Too late now to tell me you’re mistaken,
That it was a muse, a dream, a soft whim.
I should pull you close and wake you up
Till you realize the ignorance you feign,
You who first showed me the silver mirror
