Mirrors

The windows on your street, you walk by every day what secrets do they hold? People looking out through them yet you cannot see in. Do you wish you could? Or is it best imagined as you pass them by? Is that still a trespass; will they ever know, forgive? You see them every day; windows, letting in the light, keeping at bay the dark. But not your dark imaginings about eleven, thirteen, twenty-three.

Interesting. I (too?) sed to walk by 'big block-like apt. bldgs' -- almost Soviet-style -- in Chicago, and wonder what secrets lay behind every window-shade. Deep, mysterious topic. Thanks, gw

A poem filled with the mysterious, Terry! What do these windows really mirror and would we want to see what is behind them through "a glass darkly?" Is there anything behind these windows? I really like this haunting poem. Will never look at windows on our street in the same way! Happy Easter to you!

To me it sounds like those mirrors in Interrogation rooms at jailhouse. So mysterious and a bit spooky!
