Strange Face Illusion
he stared in abject horror
at his rippled reflection
that refracted back skyward
from the watery surface
disbelief soaked his conscience
a silent creep of apprehension
cascaded down his body
slow at a funeral pace
Troxler strange face illusion
his muted visage altered
as the death knell rang clear
his secret self appearing
as the twisted monster
he had always concealed
now perceptible to all
his truth exposed, unmasked

I like it. I recognized the experience, but was unaware of Troxler. I looked it up. Thanks for sharing
So interesting. I imagined a whole host of contorted reflections taking on lives of their own. Talk about creepy. I looked up Troxler too. Good job!
