LITTLE MIRROR
The mind is like a little mirror
& the word is like
a mirror in that lake.
We skated there, one ancient year –
across the icy glass, Heidi.
In Mendelssohn, sweet
neighborhood (complete
Garden of Cyrus now, in memory).
A melody of day-lilies cheers Henry
Hobo (by the Mississippi).
He might be somebody
you know – booked into penitentiary?
Sol. Solo. Absent Sheba
browses in another aisle
(archived in old Rhode Isle).
Her ship’s in search of Colchia
lambswool – seamless gold web,
mute mutuality –
griot reality
lofted to laughter (on Mount Horeb).
Square triangles of pyramids
fit into portable log
cabin logarithms, Mag.
Your stone’s a tiny tablet, hid
beside that lake, in Galilee –
a solidarity
sodality, a party
writ on water. Fountain, artistry.
