Authors bio:

Bill was born in Washington DC, circa the early fifties, which puts him on the trailing edge of the beautiful generation (remember the Hippies? OK for those of you too young to how bout Shaggy from Scooby Doo?).

Raised in West Virginia in and around the rolling hills and glens of  Charleston. Moved to South Carolina in 1984 with his wife and three children.

Lots of degrees (mostly Celsius, some Fahrenheit some Kelvin) in areas such as Electrical engineering, Biomedical engineering and Adult & Technical education.

A Mirror Is Not Like Water

by

William C. Burns, Jr.

 

A mirror
Is not like water
it is thirsty
it cuts
it drinks blood

I am hallow
she screams
she sighs
she chants

The mirror
Is not like water
It will not
slake your thirst
