Dirty dish archeology<\/p>\n
Six ceramic mugs and a whisk
\nAll brown with cocoa after the first snow
\nFreezing fingers curled ’round the afternoon<\/p>\n
Bowls and peeled back plastic wrap
\nReveal three different depleted leftovers
\nAll ground-beef based, like the budget<\/p>\n
The recycle bin full of empties
\nMilk jugs to be precise – two in two days
\nGrowing bones long and strong<\/p>\n
Two coffee cups infuse energy in the morning
\nTwo wine glasses wind down
\nBoth hard to resist, their narrow mouths resist scrubbing<\/p>\n
Eight plastic divided plates
\nFour from lunch, four from dinner
\nFull and growing, tucked in their beds<\/p>\n
Artifacts of love<\/p>\n
