The Mirror

by ridinghhood-p.boutilier

Rated: E · Poetry · Contest · #1000805

a triolet written for the prompt "through the looking glass"

The Mirror

Through the looking glass
we see ourselves too darkly.
This inconstant image as we pass
through the looking glass
is but a mask.
We judge so harshly
through the looking glass.
We see ourselves too darkly.
