88. Mirror haiku (reflection of Rabbit's poet mirror)

88.

reflected beauty
mirrors have no memory
only love recalls

Belleza reflejada,
los espejos no tienen memoria.
Sólo el amor guarda el recuerdo.

beautiful, Sue! You're so good with so few words. Perhaps I think sometimes of the world in an antireflection:

truth in a mirror
light bounces an ugly face
honesty unblamed

la verdad en un espejo
la luz despide una cara fea
la honradez no es culpable

ºThank you, Joel -- sometimes antireflections are necessary. Sue

Gracias--and thanks for being gratious, Sue. I oughta not always antireflect...and I hope you know it's never commentary on your words (which I really and consistently enjoy), but only on my momentary mental-emotional-spiritual-physical status. Great writing...and I look forward to seeing this new book sometime that I've heard you mention of (or read about, however that goes). Con afexion completa!
