		I like this one. Particularly for the " Oh" - however, it's strong enough without the explanation point. IMO

I thought of using an 'ah' instead, making it more Asian/Buddhist/koan. But 'ah' denotes 
coming to an intellectual understanding, and I wanted more of a dumb awakening. And dumb awakenings
need a '!'... well, I think that was the reasoning, my head still hurts.
         dark moon
         ah
         a mirror
Then there's always the Homer Simpson "D'oh!" (stolen from a BBC show). But that's gotta be saved
for actually running into the mirror (and we'd need two exclamation marks):
         dark moon
         D'oh!
         stupid mirror!
