Goldfish
slippery kissing
at the mirrored sides.

In the mirrors
the fruit shop owner
turning the bruises away.

Winds rattle
Orion wandering
about our bedroom mirror.

Pond mirror
the eels beneath,
the dark below.

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

Card night
a newcomer in the mirror
reading all our plays.

Rocking chair
in – – out of the mirror
grandmother’s crochet.

Attic dust
the cracked mirror
the cracked mirror’s broken toys.
