Poem Category: In the Mirror

In the mirror
her private tattoos
between them.

Derelict house
cracks of dawn
in the blemished mirror.

In the mirror
the moon on my face–
solitary characters.

In the mirror
your hair nuzzled
by the moon and I.

Lounge room
in the mirror
our crowded Sunday ironing.

Loop-tailed kitten
composes it a friend
prancing in the mirror.

Lake mirror
a sprinkle of down
from migrating geese.

In the mirror
how soft the square of moon
over the sleeping tot.

Rear-view mirror
a drink can bouncing
from an interstate car.

Bedroom mirror
from a bad dream
the opening door.
