While....................................walking
on the street............................today
i saw my features.............imprinted
on an elder................woman`s face
like simple......................copy-paste
of nose, ......................cheek-bones,
eyebrows, ........................my mouth
....................................heart-shaped
on a barely.............crumpled sheet,
walking past...................each other
long seconds of...glance exchange
Encounter.......like.............a deja vu.
Was..... I.... a ghost to her........then;
coming from her past life, .......too? ....

Intriging. Wouldn't it be amazing to physically see our older selves directly in front of us?
I've recently decided that I was Humphrey Bogart in my previous life, and was re-incarnated only without the money, fame, looks, and class...Humphrey must have done something awful to be punished thus...really clever write O...very thought provoking...Coach
I've often pronounced / translated Deja VU as 'DAYS of You'... illusionary yet repeatable experiences expressed...oh so Onely.... right here... On ya! ! !
whoa, id be scared if i saw an older man who resembled me...deja vu is a funny thing, it makes you wonder, past lives possibly?
Good idea on the form and the visual effect.....much more to do in that formula...explore it in the future
My 10 for this coz it is a poem with a different form. Love it.

What a fascinating construction! This and your poem about pregnancy - so visual! You inspire me to experiment for myself with shape poems. Fascinating ideas, too.
