Tried recreating the formatting with HTML and hope it displays as intended:| Mirror take this from me: my blasted gaze, sunken astonishment. Resolve memory & rebuild; shame'll dissolve under powder pressed into my skin. Oh, avalanche, my harbor: can I look over you, pit & pustule, crease & blotch, without seeing you through you— if all I am (Am I all?) is Woe is me? | Mirror, this take from me: gaze blasted, my sunken resolve, astonishment. Shame'll rebuild & memory dissolve into pressed powder under skin, my harbor, my avalanche. Oh I can look you over, blotch & crease, pustule & pit— seeing without you, through you. Am I all if all I am is Woe is me? |

Finally finished watching the Link Click live action adaptation but unable to write about it because of computer issues that I have yet to troubleshoot. Gonna trying to do a clean reinstall of my OS soon, but am fearing the worst. Happy Holidays! I hope everyone got to enjoy good food and good weather.
