Poem Category: In the Mirror

In the mirror
lace curtains strumming
the guitar on the bed.

Bedroom mirror
the fan’s rattle
re-winding the heat.

One finished,
shoe-shine man in his mirror
polishing the other.

Rear-view mirror
her rushed lipstick
at the traffic lights.

Lake mirrors
the red Pines
of a sunset.

Lake mirror
a pelican crosses
the path to the sun.

The bare bones of trees
the mirrored lake
thick with leaves.

In the mirror
playing to an empty room
the pianola keys.

Public library
everything in the mirror
but the smells of the books.

In the mirror
the crescent moon raising
its scoop from the sea.
