Cleaning Mirrors

Thursday August 12th


Day 113


I’m cleaning big mirrors. I stand on a stool to reach into the highest corners with a soft cloth, especially made for glass polishing.


I admire my effort from all angles. Still smeary.


All day my husband has been a mirror for me. Everything I don’t want to see in me shines in his face, in his words, in his worries.


While I keep polishing him my glass is ever more streaky.


I could use a different cloth - soaked in kindness - for us both.
