In the bedroom mirror
curves swerve
from shoulder to ankle
arcing circle
fertility curling her.
In the rearview mirror
an undulating landscape
curves swerve
from hills to plain,
clouds bubbling
with the fertile promise of rain.

Shawn L. Bird 
ok, now THAT should be in Webster’s under “Way Sexy!”
Thanks for stopping by, Juan. I’m glad you enjoyed this one!
Using the “curves swerve” line to describe her body is a badass metaphor…or analogy. Not sure which applies best
Thanks, Cai!
Wonderful piece mrs bird, i bet your as beautiful, both inside and out as your youthful days…
Thank you.

I love the juxtaposition of mirrors. Just beautiful!

Thanks, Audrey!
I appreciate you stopping in!
Symmetry is always a reason for reverence and appreciation.
🙂 Yes.
Personally, I’m very fond of asymmetry, though. It offers its own paradoxical kind of balance.
🙂 Ha! regarding the rear-view mirror! And such a lush last line. —Chagall
Thanks, Chagall. I appreciate you stopping by!
This made me think of a mirror being on the ceiling of a bedroom. Hmmm! Great work Shawn!
lol
In regarding asymmetry, one is left to the imagination running wild- always a delicious prospect.
