The Circular Golden Frame
An artist paints a room around a man,
And woman, and their boys, a portrait of
A family in their home. Within the span
Of this domestic scene and quite above
It is infinity forever. How
Does he accomplish this? A gilded frame
It contains a mirror. How does it allow
Eternity to enter here? The aim
Was perfect since the mirror caught the light
That struck the depths inside the hallway, trapped
It in reflection giving it new might.
This simple ploy in shininess has mapped
The depths contained in what was commonplace.
Mere imitations open outer space.
