SNAPSHOT  
 
 
This backside revealed suddenly                        
in a mirror facing
a mirror
in the bathroom of a hotel   
in a foreign city –                
no one here                                                
but me –
it must be mine:
 
pale moonscape                                           
with furrowed craters and
hills of cellulite
that I land on
for the first time and plant                                
a flag.
