Mirror Image





She looks at herself,
and, rather than passing on,
remains in front of herself,
returning her stare
returning her stare.

Time has scribbled on her face,
the script has halted her;
intrigued, horrified,
she has stopped to read
she has stopped to read.

Time’s graffitti has betrayed her,
she sees her story on her face:
time vandalised her beauty;
she turns away
she turns away.
