DOUBLE MIRROR

Sitting between my mother
and my daughter, suddenly I trembled,
like a man looking in two mirrors at once.     

An equal distance from death
and birth, I know the body is unfathomable                  
and spirit will not reveal its secret to me.

Here my mother stands and walks, and I   
gaze at her back. Here my daughter laughs,
the laughter of the world to come.
