The antique lamp that used
to belong to mother--
four generations, she’d lament--
crashes against pine floorboards,
crystal shards scattering
amidst the dust and the dander
of an ancient Pekinese;
fluff long shuffled
from nook to cranny.

The pounding slows, the
rhythmic clicking
of the fan sharpens,
teetering and rollicking
against the ceiling in fitful mockery
of our sudden silence.

A tender-cruel smile
steals below
worn cotton sheets,
returning to wander
against the heat
of quivering flesh.

"amid the dust and dander...

....shuffled, fluff."

I love the sound of that whole verse.

The ending was wonderful, took me to a place I'd never considered and made me smile.

Nice work
