stepping ever so gently
trying to not crack
the pristine reflection
a marred vision
and blurry hallucination
just a peek
and it can crumble
don’t let the tears
race down your cheek
to drip onto the sight
what you see
a moving picture
complete with flowers
and something like a hearse
to carry you away
a little too much weight
and you see a flaw
fake a smile
watch it crack
toe to heel
heel to toe
slowly ever you go
