Reflection

Her face is the peach of a boy
In drag; she looks
Sullen, slightly.
“What’s wrong?”
Her husband frowns.

She has something to say and it's not
The pale rooves behind her or the trees
That tan in the opal of the day.

Its mystery is the bits
Of cloud in the clearing air:
A little bit of fluff stuck
In the gravity of thought.
