Of her wedding dress.
But the glass is cracked
And the frame is tarnished
Made lackluster by age and neglect
The ghosts of the newlyweds
Sit on opposite poles of the dining table
Downing bitter, black coffee from nearly identical
mugs
("His" and "Hers").
Glaring down separate Sunday papers
Over the steaming edge
They wince at each scalding sip
Having long since lost the inclination towards
sweetness
Or the delicate cream
Which would soften the bitter drink
Without a word
The chairs screech
Across the scuffed hardwood floors.
The ghosts rise from their seats
Carrying empty coffee mugs.14
