The Mirror

Must the antique mirror be re-silvered?
Its carved ornate gold frame be replaced?
Will its reflections disappear into some smoky haze?
Where Grandpa and his pipe smoke are rising?
Grandma holding sister in her Christening dress,

And Mother’s face on mine.

there's nothing like one of those old early mirrors with the distorted glass and image
