For As Long As Poem by Luljeta Lleshanaku

For As Long As



For as long as we mirror one another
Like this, even distorted
In silver spoons, on glasses and on bubbly bottles
On the board of a dinner party about to begin
Things cannot be going that badly.
Soon the soulless steam of hot food will hiss in,
And then...
The flood of death will be at hand.
