Takes a step back

From the vacan't chair

Looking in the mirror

While she's combing her hair

Wipes the dust from a cup

While she's cleaning up

Wonders very slightly

What she's doing there

A simple reflection

Can be too revealing

Years are for counting

Years are for stealing

She's a mathematician

Calculator

Counting daily

Counting forever...

Cold clean glass and a razor blade

Fly on the table and a passing car

Closes the curtain to keep in the shade

Closes her head and now she's counting down

Dust is collecting

But she doesn't notice

Counting for ever

She's a calculator

No-one can see her

She's invisible now

No-one can see her

And the dust is collecting
