A House without Mirrors

Aarya Agarwal 2007 (India)

Free verse
A House Without Mirrors
Not being able to see your reflection,
Not one imperfection.
Some would call it a delight,
Others a world without light.
Not being able to view yourself
And assure you look better than everybody else.
Just roam about as you may,
Like people used to back in the day!
A house without a mirror, you say?
Some would find it luxurious,
While others would condemn atrocious.
