Poem Category: In the Mirror

Bedroom mirror
without them knowing
a sliver of the moon.

Mistletoe
the hallway mirror
holding their kiss.

Bedroom mirror
the keys in a suitcase
she has never opened.

In the mirror
behind a fly speck
Saturn and its rings.

A noise downstairs…
it stirs from my torch
in the mirror.

A mirrored sea
the moon moving
beyond its tides.

In the mirror
the red bruise
in her rushed zipper.

Window mirror
sunflowers pollinating
into the wind.

In the mirror
a lightning clap
nearly fills the kitten.

Lake mirror
a frog leaps into
the face of the moon. (Basho’.)
