behind your iris

behind your iris
a tiny mirror,
I stare.
are you built top down
or do you react
primal
bottom up.
is it home in there
or do you leave it
cold, empty, bare.

a summer room to rent?
or a frame wrapped in autumn air.
do you let just anyone in
or are there a set of stairs
to get into your lair?
is it the type,
"the more you look
the more you see"
or are you at the surface
your mind, in front of me.
