Witness





Packing Her China

The only one not mended with ambering glue,
he waits in mid-step 
among the squat teapots and toppled goblets 
bemused by the salt shakers too good for food,
a frozen witness to the dawns and deaths and silent eating of toast,
he believed this would never change.  
– Teresa Kiplinger
