Clearing the Table
Away went
the plates
the half-eaten
burger
wine glasses
ringed with
red zin
mayo
mustard
water
glasses
for 13
and she smiled
bright lights
betraying
the beading
of her brow

Love how this enlarges the table:
water
glasses
for 13
love the ‘b’s in the last stanza and the showing of hard work!
I too like “glasses for 13”
followed by her isolated smile.
Oh and “zin” invites us.
Great, compact,
full.
I love how you can tell so much about the meal that just finished with so few words.
Wonderful economy here.
