Mirrors

Detritus Shingles down by grain and grain.
Do we have all we need and want today?
The furniture has slowly gathered stains.
But do we have all items in array?

Do we have all we need and want today?
The moving van goes open in the rain.
But do we have all items in array?
The men begin to carry it away.

The moving van goes open i the rain.
The weather man said it might snow today.
The men begin to carry it away.
The snow and rain persist.  It's all in vain.

The weather man said it might snow today.
The truck is full and now begins to sway.
The snow and rain persist.  It's all in vain.
The road is opening the end of day.

The truck is full and now begins to sway.
The furniture has slowly gathered stains.
The road is opening the end of day.
Detritus shingles down by grain and grain.

  1. The title of this poem actually is "Moving" and I'd failed to catch the error before I'd posted it. The program would not permit me to change the title without re-posting it such that it would appear on the date of the correction rather than the date of initial posting. So I accepted that it will look forever as though Ms Miller wrote two poems with the same title. She didn't. My bad.
