The mirror was framed
with what looked like
golden leaves from
a weeping willow.
At the top of the mirror,
also in gold,
was a cherubic face
one could only guess
was meant to be an angel.
Above the angel's head
was a crown with many points.
The mirror itself was tarnished,
perhaps it had been polished
a few times too many,
or maybe that's just
what happened with age.
