Poem Category: In the Mirror

Lime-stone caves
dripping into mirrors
without light.

In the mirror
more seeds from the cage
near the free-bird’s song.

Cheap motel
the call girl avoids
seeing 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.
