Place Setting

Under her watchful eye I was
Careful not to move too fast
placing the smallest fork silently
On white linen
Not so much a click but
A soft thud announced
It's resting place where
Waiting to be used it sparkled
Under the light of the fake candled
Chandelier.

We would eat in the
Kitchen, less elegant but
Our plates were filled
With food all the same
tasting better in here along
side comfort, under humming
fluorescent fixures
