Poem Category: In the Mirror

In the mirror
white rose above the thorn
with a spot of blood.

Lake mirror
how the stallion guards
the mare’s drinking.

From the mirror
starlight returns
beginning its journey again.

A second earthquake …
the mirror crisscrossed
from crack to crack.

Rear-view mirror
re-joining the stars
the last small town.

Antiques shop
only the blemish thrives
behind mirrors.

Mirrors
returning to rock pools
the full moon tide.

In the mirror
the room filled now
where Laurel dressed.

Mirrored
with moonlight
Venus in the lake.

In the mirror
the mantelpiece Buddha
lit by the moon.
