Poem Category: In the Mirror

Mantelpiece
how his youth fits
father’s photos.

In the wardrobe mirror
discovering
her hangers are empty.

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

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

Window mirror
grape vine squeezing
the gold of dawn out.

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

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