Attractant

Attractant

A Poem by Scott Christian
"

For someone I love

"
Of the plates upon which I dined; far too many for I to count
And yet of them I favoured most: a darling little China
On this I'd scrape and slave and gnash at meals
And little China held all aloft, deft and unstirring
A fragile partnership we, us

Alas as came with frequent use, guests doth asked and abused
For darling little China was attractant to any and all
And in time: cracks and shards of broken China fell scattered upon the floor

And in those times my darling little China was laid up to heal and resume
My heart and stomach both felt empty; none other matched

But time doth heal the cracks
and time allows shape to reform

In time, darling China
we will feast of banquets again
