Pretty
We dusted the mantel and the mantel pieces
before we swept the floors and threw out the casualties
I replaced the water and put a flower or more in every vase
each a new jewel set against our adornments
Your face was spectacular
the picture of ridges, subtlety, and muses
Something as old as the earth and greater than its surface
came to mind and we sat with each other
dust, dinosaurs, and Saturn in our living room
