The Face in the Mirror - a photo on Flickriver

            Grey haunted eyes, absent mindedly glaring
From wide, uneven orbits; one brow drooping
Somewhat over the eye (-)
       
I pause with razor poised, scowling derision
At the mirrored man whose beard needs my attention,
And once more ask him why
He still stands ready, with a boy's presumption,
To court the queen in her high silk pavilion.
