Poem Category: In the Mirror

Bedroom mirror
our dust too
glitters in the sun.

Dawn lifts
enough light to mirror
racing canoes.

In the mirror
the chandelier lighting
its own small room.

In the mirror
crossing our old house
to the verandah where I slept.

In the mirror
the grandfather clock
turning its hands back.

Pond mirror
the eels beneath,
the dark below.

In the mirror
Laurel moving across
the bed behind her.

In her kitchen mirror
the unfolding shapes
of his crumpled letter.

Sleeping tot
her dreams at play
in the mirror.

In the mirror
the hedge our gardener
shapes like a wall.
