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
