The mirror and the playhouse

 She looks to the highway

then turns around to face the play house

The ghost of the unwed bride has claimed it

skeleton like and screaming eternally


dressed in dark clothes she opens the glass door and exits the main house

Normality and sobriety in each step toward the pond

soft words fall on her curated for her ears alone

That wedding day expected to come some day


The road of life a serpent

a reptillian spine running down a long tale

It's all over when you reach the teeth

It runs from the sacred womb 


To the elegy blessed shiny wooden tomb

She will run this course loveless

like many men who dread their feelings

directed by their fears


the grass is soft her feet step gently across it

she fantasizes about an amazing person a special day

faith so souplike so nutritious in a world without meaning

Not changing herself as she looks in the mirror of the playhouse


gossip and social expectations

The importance of appearances and personal mock tests

Lost youth tatooed and warped by potent illusions

sold and rented across mass produced screens


The deep fantasy of the bridal gown and chapel

The playhouse empty

The mirror
