Crazy Mirror

CRAZY MIRROR






                                               She was right
                                          The mirror was crazy
                          In the beam of moon, looked naked eggwhite
                  As if it was an iceblink slipping against the wall of night

                                                Air was cool
                                        A ghost bellowing a bull
                  End of the day she left her play the sky was less than blue
                  She faced the mirror a lassie sleuth lost in the trail of clue

                                      The mirror wobbled a little
                               A creak a squeak a squeal a mouse
                  It backed the little sleuth she saw a dreaded noose a halter
             She was brave and matter was grave she should never be in falter

                                           The room was still
                                    Kitchen opened a smell of dill
                  Shadows danced on the fence candles burned in defense
                  She chose the nook her brain addled heart strings tense

                                             She found mom
                                      And dad and brother Tom
                Dream of heavens a summer rain quenched the thirsty eyes
                 The eluding glass thought the lass left a word to the wise


                                                   ---o---
