Poem Category: In the Mirror

Her bedroom mirror

every doll out of their box

being chastised.

Cafe’ mirror

the blonde sipping quietly

under her red sun hat.

In the mirror

the sculptor’s nude

studies his sketch pad.

In the mirror

a light globe swinging

with the cat’s green eyes.

Mantelpiece

how his youth fits

father’s photos.

On the mirror

how the blow fly buzzes

the cat’s yawn.

Singing rock star …

her too as she mimes

into the mirror.

Friday seance

our blanket covering

the mirror’s crack.

Father’s old razor …

the cut’s bright blood

in my bathroom mirror.

Lake mirror

a frog leaps into

the face of the moon
