Wishbone

Half-eaten chicken
lying on white serving plate
quartered potatoes
chunks of carrots
celery too
we tell stories
and laugh about the day
your little finger is locked around the wishbone
so is mine

mumbling my lips

lifting your piece of chicken bone above your head
in victory
I know better than to ask
what did you wish for

everyone knows that

lying on the couch
listening to you make music
with running water
and closing cupboard doors. — Robert Hobkirk
