questions to ask a mirror
remember
whatever you ask a mirror
it will ask back
if you ask it
what will you give me
it will ask you
what will you give me
if you ask it what is love
it will turn into a telescope
& point at you
if you ask it what is hate
it will do the same thing
if you ask it what is truth
it will break in nine pieces
if you ask it what is beauty
it will cast no reflection
if you ask it to show you the world
it will show you the eye of your mother. ~ Toi Derricotte, The Mirror Poems
