Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Crashed and shattered, ugly and tall
Shows the contours of my hollowed face
Saw the place of the ornate bruises
Set me up in the lonely moon
She crept behind my head, and thought,
Let me swallow this horrid creature
Submit your work to Fiction & Ideas
World is a mirror
Stare back, see the beautiful truth
Reflection is you
Give hate and get hatred back
Give love and feel the warmth
My face in the mirror,
sunken and sad, staring back
into eyes that have seen bad
things rise with resolve
from blotches on skin,
crucifixes on fire,
on fire for the Lord,
who came to deserts
with a sword
The puddle reflects
A mirror to the bright world
In all its grandeur
