Notes About The Poem

Mirrored Glass

Night arrives and clear window glass
becomes a myriad of reflecting panes.
Do I like what I see,
an old woman who still feels young 
inside that caricature of flesh?

She was eighteen just yesterday,
with enough energy to propel her forward
into a future that is now past,
where in this present moment
only memories remain.
