mirror pond.

Glassy eyes—mirror ponds reflecting the sky
Controlled breathing—breezing—billowing by
Her hand in his, soft whispered advice
A cry fills the room, life blooms from inside
Time spins ahead—a red Big Wheel to ride
There's ladders to climb, backwards down slides
Sidewalk chalked pieces, Matisse’s alive
Those firefly flickering Fourth of Julys
Sparks in the night: the chemicals inflame—
Basement cigarettes, the girl with the bangs
Boy becomes man, brain still the same
Rusted ruby Wrangler, Pollockian oil stains
Swore to never change . . . until he found the One
Stock market slides, corporate ladder rungs
Glass ceilings above the art of his son—
Reflect all the things he wished he had done
His hand in hers, words whispered at night
Labored breathing—ceasing—simple goodbye
Glassy eyes—mirror ponds reflecting the sky
All along the mirror pond reflecting the sky.
