Dusting
Your dusting cloth explores pictures
surfaces and other decorative
articles arranged on the coffee table,
and the fireplace mantle
But coming in front
of your sanctuary, you stop
before the icons of saints
your wedding crowns are displayed
in the glass case. It was believed
wedding crowns
next to the holy icons
was a good omen
meaning that married couples
would stay together forever
Although your husband
left you for another
flame only a month ago
