Flash Poetry: Reflection by Cathy MacKenzie
Welcome to the Spot Writers. This month’s prompt was to look out the window and write about what was out there.
Today’s post comes to us from Cathy MacKenzie. Through her nanoscopic publishing company MacKenzie Publishing (nanoscopic is a thousand times smaller than microscopic, but, hey, everyone knows smaller is better, to steal a phrase from a fellow writer), will be presenting her first anthology, OUT OF THE CAVE, 21 tales for youth 13+, by 21 authors. The book will be available on August 1, 2016, from Amazon, in print and e-book, as well as at other venues.

reflection
by Cathy MacKenzie
tap tap tap
face looks back at me
tap tap tap
I turn
tap
she turns
tap
fingers slender
tap tap
fingers stubby
tap tap
face stares
hoary, haggard
face moves
bright, blissful
tap tap
tap tap
she taps
I tap
shadow on the lens
behind the frame
weary and worn
tap tap
you sigh
I sigh
a life done, gone
tap tap tap
