Thinking of your poem 'This', Mirror Man Images that bounce from silvered glass that look to meet your eyes, perchance as you study surface films, their reflections faithfully mimic facial gestures imposed by thought recollections does it have to have a name? won't it appear just the same? when you dally right in front when you snicker, when you grunt a washed reflection returns its clarity from the bottom of sipped fine porcelain cups from the plated spoons used to assist your sup as the mind reckons with foggier tonalities but feigns to recognize interior banalities that's not projected from the facial lines there were times when you combed your hair a piliferous crop once covered your crown laid yourself a snare? healthy growth was there now imagine what it would be if that look would return for you to see. does the face have to have a name? it'll still blinks at you the same when you dally with wrinkled creases trapped by thin reflections you search for missing pieces.

Martie, Sy and Diamond you're comments are all appreciated..for all intents and purposes I had been thinking too of the times we used to hear 'look at yourself in the mirror' and also "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by James Joyce |

Warm regards to you Pat and Ethyl, No saying when the inspiration comes...in this case I think we all tend to look in the mirror for what isn't visually apparent...as well as just sprucing up in the morning..hehe [This message has been edited by ecrivan (01-05-2003 12:29 AM).] |
