Objects in the MIrror


Are Closer
Than They Appear

The past looms: amorphous,
sudden;
unforgotten still

A glance reveals

you've aged, mercifully,
and
mercilessly.

Blessings and curses meld
into a receding image of youth,
a ghost of the future

And the best we can do
is to stay between the ditches.
