Mirrors










Deep blue of
cobalt



frilling
fins


he pauses to
stare out of the aquarium


then under
pallid leaves he lounges


seeming
disturbingly dead


till
fluttering to another transparent wall.





I noticed
this


peering in
at him


wondering if
he was happy in that space.





I noticed
this


staring out
my window

watching the frigid wind whip the pines


and fluff
the tails of squirrels.





They noticed
this


those squirrels
staring in my window


do they
wonder is she happy in there?


and could my
life splash


through that
transparent wall


landing me
in the chill?
