Raeanne<br />Mirror, Mirror<br /><br />When I look into a<br />mirror,<br />it is her face I see.<br />Her right is my left, double<br />moles, dimple and all.<br />My right is her left,<br />unblemished.<br /><br />We are exact<br />opposites,<br />Kaeleigh and me.<br />Mirror image identical<br />twins. One egg, one sperm<br />one zygote, divided,<br />sharing one complete<br />set of genetic markers.<br /><br /> On the outside we are<br /><br /> the same. But not<br /> inside. I think<br />she is the egg, so<br />much like our mother<br />it makes me want to scream.<br />Cold.<br />Controlled. <br /><br />That makes me the sperm<br />I guess. I take completely<br />after our father.<br />All Daddy, that's me.<br />Codependent. <br />Cowardly.<br /><br /> Good, bad. Left, right.<br /> Kaeleigh and Raeanne.<br /> One egg, one sperm.<br /> One being, split in two.<br /><br /> And how many<br />souls?
