In the Bathroom Mirror

by Ralph Burns

He continues to ponder

And his wife moves next to him.

She looks. They look at themselves

Looking through the fog.

She has a meeting she says in about

Thirty minutes, he has

Something too. But still she has

Just stepped out of the bath

And a single drop of water

Has curved along her breast

Down her abdomen and vialed in

Her navel then disappeared

In crimson. Unless they love

Then wake in love

Who can they ever be? Their faces bloom,

A rain mists down, the bare

Bulb softens above the glass,

So little light that

The hands mumble deliciously,

That the mouth opens

Mothlike, like petals finding

Themselves awake again

At four o'clock mid shade and sun.
