Wall Pillow Poem by Lee Ann Schaffer
Wall Pillow
Not a proper pillow
For a head,
A thing to separate
Room from room
Me from you,
Yet you laid
My head there.
The hole it left
Admits no light.
I hung a mirror
Over it.

The hanging of the mirror is a metaphor for redirecting examination. The speaker in the poem has reached a point where things are so bad that it's perhaps time, not to look at the effects of the situation (the hole in the wall) , but to obscure that from view for the time being (hang something over it) and do some self-examination - to look at herself (the mirror) to find the source of the troubles.
