Sharp Knife


I found your mirror
when looking for something
in the walk-in closet,
the oval, black-framed one
with the ivory handle.

A lightning bolt crack
shot down from top
to bottom, carving my face
with a sharp knife
misplaced years ago.

    The very same thing happened to me, when I found out of a loved ones secret. Loved this piece dear friend.
