Madness and make-up!

What am I seeing?

Is that really a face?

A vision? Yes, one of those?

It's strange here in the shower.

What seemed to be a countenance looked in at me.

But was that a vision, merely a repeat -

a repeat of my madness?

Do I see a knife in that hand,

held by that figure,

a strange and frightening thing?

Am I about to fall, lose blood?

Chimeras can indeed be strange,

strangeness be a vision, vision a memory;

memories of faces

can dance within the brain.

Will a knife be plunged into my belly?

Shall I feel its sharp point?

Am I to fall and hit my head -

splash into my own blood?
