A Suitcase Full of Mirrors

A Suitcase Full of Mirrors

by Carol Stewart

Think of me as I think of you,
at home with your cool decor –
Arctic? Not quite
but your colours of choice
are those of surgery walls,
anaesthetised procedures,

bonny banks in a silver frame,
blue mist going under

glass, the shimmering lake,
but you can’t tell its depth
from a picture, say

The Trossachs sound humid –

Make-believe

we are snow,
two flakes a-drift, sashaying,
determined to avoid
chilblained hands reaching into
small pockets of warmth
found in a vanity case.
