Reflections of You

I feel myself becoming your mirror image, a little more each day. When you laugh out loud, my mirror neurons leap with joy. When you are pensive, they hunker down in a darkened sulcus. If you wink at me and nobody else sees, your signal hits my brain like a laser. When you cry I scramble, panicked, trying to stop the nerves from leaking. When you seduce me, my motor cortex and my senses scream back and forth through synapses. When you touch my face, all cortical lights and fires extinguish for a microsecond. I take each step you take, I handle every object you hold, I turn my neck and shoulder when you reach for something high, I kneel when you pray,I curl when your dreaming makes you curl, I fill the spaces you offer. I feel your reflection in my soul, a little more each day.
