[Originally published on January 9, 2016]
I trailed through cavern after cavern hung
with clouds of crystal from a painted sky,
and gawked at fountains on the lawn, a young
suburban girl bewildered by Versailles.
I saw my parents didn’t live this way;
and now my husband’s taste – not regal, we’ve
discerned. And yet that morning of parquet
still whispers glamor, and I still believe.
Until this afternoon. I don’t know why.
Perhaps because we had another fight,
or maybe I expected more from my
IKEA kitchen. Nothing’s ever right.
I’m acting childish, but can’t seem to stop…
This is a lovely granite countertop.
