The Pink Glass Lamp


The pink glass lamp

They gathered around, admiring my purchase
first at a bit of distance, inching closer to better examine it
the pink glass lamp, even with its chipped edges,
was elegant indeed.

I could sense the appreciation of one of the customers
she with her bluish grey hair in short thinning curls,
She had one in her living room many
years ago, her frail face clouded with memories.
