Suspended Between Mirrors

Since his eyes were
so hungry
to feast on her form ..
He set about
erecting a bank of tall
mirrors
either side of the clear
water stream
where she so often did
bathe ..
Tho’ since he wanted
to see
her reflection so badly
suspended ..
He did yet lean further
and further
above and then o’er
the water ..
From the bridge he thus
created tween
those fine mirrors of his ..
And as she
descended, like an angel
from heaven ..
Unaware of his presence
she slipped
from her robes and into
the water ..
Where likewise, he too
sadly slipped
and did drown, in her image ..
