the mirror’s purpose by Phil Burns
he reflects the mirror’s purpose
and he writes of far off things
there is the whisper of an echo
in the second song the angel sings
in the second song the angel sings
the rhymes are clearly forced
the silent partner loves the sun
she remains always indoors
she remains always indoors
her departure urgent but not soon
she waits once more for darkness
she dances naked for the moon
she dances naked for the moon
while he watches her in awe
he thinks she is quite perfect
she knows he is badly flawed
she knows he is badly flawed
but he is deep beneath the surface
so when she needs to understand herself
he reflects the mirror’s purpose

…when she needs to understand herself

I love this.
A mirror reflects and deflects, brings at arm’s reach what is far away and beyond reach.
An apt allegory for the repeated but not quite parallel images you give us.
Mysterieux et splendide, ambigu et voile on croit voir un couple qui est pet qui n’est pas.
