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--- © Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty 7th November, 2014
