almost broken

Mirror, you are cracked
seven years bad luck.
Snapped shut, denied a last cigarette.

Thirteen splintered edges,
seven refracted pieces,
carried in a purse.

Mirror, you are shattered,
cracked, refracted beyond repair.
Seven years, now seven sutured scars.

stretching
a giant carrot
across the room.

As it twist turns
from orange to purple to blue,

remind the students
that a white wall
can be any color they choose
because

white reflects all color into light.
