In a Mirror

in a mirror
for the first time
I see my
Turkish face

my mustache
thick and broad
my beard
gone

in a mirror
for the first time
I see my
Asian face

only a dark
thin mustache left

when I come outside
I see a family:
the man and woman
don't recognize me

the two children
smile at me
their faces filled
with light

in a mirror
for the first time
I see my own
original face
