we perform
this ritual grace
words spoken to themselves
candle's fire illuminates
mismatched silver and faded earthenware
a vase of wildflowers mocks the infectious sentiment of kin
arriving uninvited, a familiar glutton
devours all but the hunger of a lover alone
faith does not accommodate
allergies and broken hearts
a fistful of ragweed
an angry bouquet
cursing loves discrepancy
