Dream of a Harpy – Lara Gularte

Visions in a Dark Mirror, 2022
DREAM OF A HARPY

She gazes into her Cheval mirror,
searches for a reflection.

At the vanishing point,
in the mirror’s depth
of field,
she finds herself in profile,
a mythic raptor.

From inside the mirror
to open window,
an upward flight.

She rises into sky above the heavy earth,
woman-faced with a wide-wingspan,
Harpy Eagle riding a thermal.
