#structured verse

You can find it here on Ao3! It's only 6 minutes long, but there are sooo many ways to say "mirror" packed into it. *Not limericks!*

Inspired by "Through a Glass, Darkly" by @calaisreno.

Summary:

As "Through a Glass, Darkly" was posted, this poem was written, one stanza per chapter. In short, modern day Sherlock and John are chasing a suspect, have a conflict in an alley, and emerge into an 1800's mirror world. Anything more would be spoilers. Read that fic before [listening to] this one.

You are proud, you tell me

flag bright and lengthy

in love quite wealthy

but you turn away.

I think lies are easy

confessions cheesy

it makes me queasy

I should turn away.

We flame together

with pride, forever

but public, never
