Birthday dress

in the mirror

she spins herself between us.

Under the green table lamp

my Friday nights’

games of patience.

Attic dust

the cracked mirror

the cracked mirror’s broken toys.

Lightning

a crack across

the lake’s mirror.

Bedroom mirror

the fan’s rattle

re-winding the heat.

Rocking chair

in – – out of the mirror

grandmother’s crochet.

Garden path

ants black with acid

up the school boy’s stick.
