Rootless

i shut off all the lights and looked in the mirror,

to a face i could not recognize,

she had black eyes and a pale face

she would destroy herself from within-

attempting to find something inside of her,

sinking into the fire

she watches how she does not burn but transform-

she's a black hole full of secrets,

so dark that the blackness covers the stars-

she floats up to the surface 

and finally remembers her name.
