Here's a #koan ( #公案 ) for you:
Is this the same mirror,
reflecting the same thing?
Reflect on this and
if it's a yes: why it isn't?
if it's a no: why it is?

🚨GUESS WHAT…. Excited + lucky to announce that, next Spring, we’ll be publishing the second book from one of our favourite poets/writers/humans, Peter Scalpello 🩵🩵🩵We published Peter’s debut collection, Limbic in 2022 and it was such an honour to see the incredible response to their work. Mirrorstage is another phenomenal, important book - a hybrid prose-poetry journey through recovery and psychology that’s at once heartbreaking, sexy, witty, and beguilingly insightful. Out in March 2026!! @pscalpello

Das Spiegelstadium zerfällt
Ich erkenne mich nicht mehr
in meinem Umriss.
Das Bild gehorcht,
doch der Körper
verweigert sich.
Meine Seele
ist eine Fehlidentifikation
mit Puls.
