Poetry 21 - Broken Mirrors

It sat in front of me,
still and blueish.
Inconsistently colored,
smooth texture.
Hands like paper-thin, living leaves
of northern grass.
The lenses were covered,
but lifted, there was a reflection –
I digress, reflect –
Reflection.
I wish I could wake this corpse,
so it would look at me.
My favorite thing about eyes
is that they double as mirrors.

  1. Yet another quote...

    "My favorite thing about eyes is that they double as mirrors."
    - Chris Cavanaugh

    Which will also be misquoted in these ways:

    "My favorite thing about mirrors is that they remind me of eyes."
    "My favorite color eyes are mirror."
    "I love mirrors, but not as much as I love eyes."

    or the truly ignorant,

    "Eyes are like mirrors."
