Poem Category: In the Mirror

Grand staircase
a waltz in the mirror
from the ballroom below.

Window mirror
grape vine squeezing
the gold of dawn out.

In the mirror
the chatter of wag-tails
after rain on the lawn.

In the mirror
the shower screen opened
by my honey-moon wife.

In the wardrobe mirror
discovering
her hangers are empty.

In the mirror
the hedge our gardener
shapes like a wall.

Sleeping tot
her dreams at play
in the mirror.

In her kitchen mirror
the unfolding shapes
of his crumpled letter.

In the mirror
Laurel moving across
the bed behind her.

Pond mirror
the eels beneath,
the dark below.
