SO FEW PLEASURES LEFT

A shop window with a black

background offers reflections for free.

 

Brief glances of approval or

disappointment. a casual moment

to review size or height or the

unwanted parts.

A tip of the hat. Straightening a tie.

The acceptance of neatness or

unchangeable habits.

 

The reflection fails to reveal

inner thoughts, turmoil, sin,

desire or faith.

 

The passing images are half

shadows.  Only part of what others

see.
