Wolves in profile, heads tilted back
Howling either side
Of a Shaman.
Butterflies
Blur into the shape
Of the vulva.
Two African women
Leaning over a cooking pot
Sharing stories.
The next is a monster;
But it is important to note
He is affable.
A bat.
A cat that has been squashed
Flat and pasted into
A collector’s book.
Two creatures, half woman
Half rabbit, thin and cruel
Poised to bolt.
Mirrored bears dancing
In a pine forest;
They are joyful.
A unicorn and a satyr fighting
On a bank of clouds
With trumpets.
A pair of wizards surrounded
By the magic and claws

Very nice. It'd be great for my folding mirror poetry site, especially with a little editing to fit the form's requirement of two mirroring halves of poetry either side of a middle line, if you'd like it featured there as well.
