soon as need to see
real
what is here and behind
in front eventually
a mirror is time travel
not space
best silvered glass, water too
sky below, self above
all as bottomless, next to each other
(viewing hint: tip head slightly)
swimming in the untouchable
long as wide pool
deep as shallow heaven

Mirrors have an innate honesty that can't be denied. What you see is what's there.
An intriguing look at and comparison of a mirror and water; not always an easy poet to grasp. Took a couple reads to really enjoy the flow of words here.
I am amazed at your phrasing... so intriguing. Excellent poem... mirror as time travel - wonderful. "deep as shallow heaven." inspired ending. Very good.
