‘Broken Mirror/Evening Sky’ - from a series of images by New York photographer Bing Wright who captured the reflection of sunsets on shattered mirrors in 2014.

A vignette string. I am awaiting the inclusion of the vignette by PoetrySoup, as I have requested.

I: cherry blossoms wither in morning sun whither life is bound II: rain washed worn steps to temple tight-fitting sandals III: passersby drop coins in dented singing bowl gnarled fingers IV: anamnesis details in kaleidoscope a raked zen garden V: the Geisha forgets the words to the poem celebrating life VI: yellowed photograph of ranked benefactor caked white makeup VII: crushed cherry blossoms stained hem of kimono asymmetric blotch
