WHO'S IN THE MIRROR?

By Di Hills

ree

The mirror looks at her in shame.

 

She sees … blubbery flesh,  

triple chin, swollen body. 

 

He sees … the barest twig.

a martyr’s chest, flesh stripped away.

 

She says ‘I’m a mountain to climb’

He cries, “You’re a needle to thread!” 

 

The mirror looks at him in shame.
