...quiet, about a lot of things...

poetry thursday

from this angle
she could not see me
watching

checking her reflection
chin up
fierce straight on

only a moment
then eyes soften
downward
mask crumbles

too much
her mothers
daughter, i fear

I like the sparity, and that final strophe is really big in its compactness.

This is a lovely poem - so much is said in a few words.
