Your face is neither infinite nor ephemeral.
You can never see your own face,
only a reflection, not the face itself.
So you sigh in front of mirrors
and cloud the surface.
It's better to keep your breath cold.
Hold it, like a diver does in the ocean.
One slight movement, the mirror-image goes.
Don't be dead or asleep or awake.
Don't be anything.
What you most want,
what you travel around wishing to find,
lose yourself as lovers lose themselves,
and you'll be that.

Interesting, we can never see our 'face' in front of the mirror, uh. Personally, I think you meant that the mirror molds our facial expression to the one that we want to see. We smile or make silly faces, and yet we know that its just a show. We cant just be, when we are also watching ourselves staring back at us.
Thats what I think =) Nice write! -
