persona
Imago has found himself of
late uncertain
believes his person has reverted
to a persona
appropriated   it has become a front 
a certain Imago having appeared
a cameo role   in certain dubious poems … 
Imago remembers his self
its location somewhere in his
chest
the solar plexus or
thereabouts and how it moved
but did not seem to change   to a position
somewhere just behind his
eyes   staring out of himself
through the mask of his skull
from the monkey in the mirror
his homunculus   somewhat smaller
somewhat younger   somehow truer to itself 
somehow more loyal to itself     
and the betrayal
