a man meets a mirror
(there are no names or substance
in front of a mirror
- just curiosity and fear)

he's touching the glass
all of a sudden
his hand looks like
an inverted tree
and his face
like a story long forgotten
- sour apples & all

"as men when burdened not do" sounds really strange and a little precious, something simpler might work better, like: as men with no burdens, even better, men with no worries.

i think, when you bring fourth a universal myth, you've got to keep it dense and true to itself. in other words, your ending is ok, sort of "to name is to own", but i think you should get there faster or following a more direct route

yes, while writing it, i did have the slight suspicion i was overdoing it. the idea, intially, was quite simple. it got more complex after it was put into words. you know how words tend to ...kill the idea--a poet's fatality.:D
