In poetry we can confront our multiple selves, hanging around the high street even. Scott Lilley's 'Doppelgänger' sees all. @poetrytalkingguy.bsky.social Read it here: inksweatandtears.co.uk/scott-lilley/ #Poetry #InkSweatandTears

Text: Doppelgänger
It’s tiresome— keeping up with it, learning
your new names. The nights that crack open
like a Strongbow come cloying back; here,

you point, Orion’s belt, your face all teeth,
me not knowing for certain where your finger
points, you, buckled up, almost onto something.
