A Simple Gift

As a gift i gave

the sky a mirror,

and in return she 

gave me back 

my reflection.

I have stared long 

into the surfaces

of things, and see now

my image repeated

between a puddle and the sky

off into infinitesimal space.

Author's Note

i got the idea from reading a review of citizen kane, i havent actually watched the movie yet, but there is supposedly a scene where he walks between two mirrors and sees his image repeated infinitely smaller in both mirrors.

Nice….piece of thought….

yeah, the movie is brilliant very surreal like your poem with infinitesimal scales.. it really describes the movie image accurately. isn't this psycho-poetry? you create a new genre...

great description of a strange trick of mirrors. i haven't seen that movie, but it sounds interesting :). really good poem, i admire that you were able to describe something like this
