SONNET ABOUT ORPHEUS 3 (MIROIR) In the Mirror of the Real each scene found in negation not the lake of the heart not the body torn to pieces by the Furies not the tongue of Orpheus In the Mirror of the Real reversals doubles, endless folds, oppositions the actual trees, stones, stars, lakes reflect the dead, the "irreparable," the under- world. Eurydice not a person but the cry of Orpheus: "Eurydice O harsh justice! Eury- dice" when he looked back and saw poetry can't bring the dead back to life In the Mirror of the Real, both the underground of the world the under- side of his body back and forth through the black liquid of the mirror look, Eurydice, no hands!
