Poem Category: In the Mirror

In the mirror
a sprinkle of strangers
around Father’s wake.

Pond mirror
a frog with the measure
of an incoming fly.

Singing rock star …
her too as she mimes
into the mirror.

In the mirror
the light globe leaving
its heat outside.

Pink bedroom
her thirteenth birthday
begins in the mirror.

In the mirror
the tot counting stars
with her baby lisp.

Sundial garden
then in winter nests
just sparrow bones.

no where
but my shaving mirror
Laurel’s shower mist

In the garage mirror
a closer lean on father
repairing her doll-pram’s wheel.

In the mirror
a sliver of moon
rides the curtain breeze.
