this small box

took the tape

and played the past

when they were living

and breathing and being

and there was a table covered in cloth

and a white-tiered cake

and fresh flowers in a vase

and lots of food and drink

and there were memories

everywhere

60 years’ worth

“Look at Mama and Daddy,

didn’t they look good,” she said.

now, here it is

years later

60 years’ worth

standing where her Mama stood

“Look at Granny and Papa,

don’t they look good.”
