Looking Lass

July 26, 2020 By Ellen Leave a Comment

The other day I found myself trying to write a poem about why I’m not a poet. Yes, I know…

Anyhow, here’s something else I did write. 

 

Looking lass

Sometimes in a mirror, there’s a woman I don’t know

Neither less nor more, just surprising

Her hopeful eyes glitter – she’s been waiting

Our eyes meet. She smiles and I smile back. Sighing

I yearn to linger, hear her stories.

Then, catching myself, my face slackens. Someone might see

And the woman in the mirror is on her own again.
