Mirror Casket [two caskets side by side three]
after De Andrea Nichols and team
two caskets side by side three
tilt the mirror it exists indefinitely
the casket is the mirror the mirror
a simple sheet of glass glued
to wooden frame I wonder about
each rectangle’s reversed side
what color paint hides mercury
silver aluminum my fingers
cannot grasp the mirror’s edges
each fingertip imprinted pressed
by metal all the same what
substructure allows the work
of reflection and what’s its cost
