Reflection in the Mirror
by Nathalie Hernandez

After all the pieces of the mirror were broken
I picked up the pieces and wondered…
What am I to do with the damage?
The other side of the mirror told me to pick
the pieces up and fix them. And so I healed
the mirror and decided to repair the damage
focusing on the person in the reflection.
Damaged or healed—I had to accept
and love the reflection in the mirror.
