I saw my doppelganger following me today.
She smiled and beckoned at passers by.
She wore the dress I dumped last month and moved on with friends whom I loved.
She painted her nails with unseen brush and preened with my looks in her eyes
We went round and round around the garden and she hated the blue butterflies;
I looked at the windscreen of my car and saw her lazing on the wheel
She winked at my long dead lover and closed an almost airtight deal.
My porch was full of dusty books, my names erased and dates scrubbed clean
My namesake was sipping tea and my dog stretched at her feet
I went back to my panic room and bolted my soul from within.
