Photo Poem No. 1
There’s a nice china cup
and saucer;
a chunder bag, a low ball,
a candle, a pencil sharpener,
and other objects.
What does it mean?
Indeed!
I don’t know…
The cup and saucer are slightly older than
me.
They are approximately 56 to 57 years old
in fact.
At 55 I don’t seem to have stood the test of time as
well as they.
The gold pattern has dulled a bit on the china.
But I look old and worn, battered and barnacled.
There is meaning here.
Somewhere…
Love is the key.
And a wedding.
And a marriage that lasted.
‘In sickness and health.’
So the china cup and the chunder bag
make sense.
Yes
they
do.
