(Un)Birthday Dinner
Curtains of a bygone era
Polyester popular
Cream colored and heavy
Yellowed with age and sprinkled with dust
Draped and frame a large window
Rectangular prisms of shiny black oil
Reflecting only tiny pinpricks of candle-light
Window or wall…Do you feel it looming?
China like cleverly painted bones
Barely perceptible against the waves of white table cloth
Carefully woven and pressed
Appearing newer only because of care
Coffee cooling itself
Coating the bottoms of teacups
Shallow and cold
No longer inviting
A lone candle standing tall affixed with cartoon images of thanks
In its crystal cradle
Flame captured in between dances
Casting prejudiced light on resting spoons, elbows, hands, salt and pepper shaker
Glass of tea
Cries condensation of neglect
Tiny disappearing icebergs gather along the surface
Diluting its purpose

Nice.
Thanks a bunch for reading.
