Upon closer inspection
The image is just a little
Disconcerting

The reflection seems
Jaundiced
Gaunt
Just a trace of sadness
In those uneasy cheeks

There is a silent honesty
In mirrors
That betrays the many truths
We so desperately strive
To conceal

With clothes
And gadgets
With accessories
And makeup

An honesty
Tucked away like old photographs
Behind the pupils

You seem to have the hang of it.  Everyone writes, everyone reads, everyone answers each other or there is no point to it.  Welcome.  Joyce
