After dinner
the chairs
are vacant
some withdrawn
who occupied them
what was for dinner
dishes lie
still unwashed
and what was said
laughed at
or taken in
peppered with food
still lingers
on the table as you do
the dishes
push the chairs back.
An old camera
lies still
in a cupboard
and reminds me of
days
it graced my shoulder
I have not buried it
If I want, it may still
open its eye
stick out
a celluloid tongue
and lick from life
