a spell for scrying mirror gremlins

PETER CHIYKOWSKI

Find a bird

crushed by a car or window

and sprinkle water on it daily

until it grows to the size of a

grudge. Hang it

on a string around your neck.

Turn off the lights in your bathroom

and utter your own name

once for each time

you have sinned against

expectation. Open the steaming tap

and let the glass

glaze until you see the dark spirits

that have been stretching you out

in front of yourself

like a dog’s tired tongue.

Watch them wear you, puff

your belly, chew your hair,

stuff sacs of venom

under your eyes.

In a low whisper, tell yourself

this is the work of inhuman forces,

of elves, of dead birds

and albatrosses. Repeat

until you believe it, until your face

sours like a bruise

under the mirror’s hard skin.
