Mirror
Richie Hofmann
 
 
You'd expect a certain view from such a mirror --
 clearer 
 than one that hangs in the entry and decays. 
 I gaze 
 past my reflection toward other things: 
 bat wings, 
 burnt gold upon blue, which decorate the wall 
 and all 
 those objects collected from travels, now seen 
 between 
 its great, gold frame, diminished with age: 
 a stage 
 where, still, the supernatural corps1 de ballet 
 displays 
 its masquerade in the reflected light. 
 At night, 
 I thought I'd see the faces of the dead. 
 Instead, 
 the faces of the ghosted silver sea 
 saw me.
