Abracadabra Acudubillah - Warsan Shire

Everyday since that bad
thing happened, I've been practicing
                   a spell:

how to disappear
from yourself,
within yourself.

I've noticed
each time I leave,
something in me keeps

                   going.
Something in me turns
its back on me—

someone else reflected in the mirror,
someone else answering
to my name.
