Dusting the tops of bookshelfs
and glass filled china cabinets
watching you make potstickers
talking about taking down the
curtains that she never seems
to notice have turned yellow
even if they're still white and
you're a little crazy in that
lovable 75 yeared Asian lady way
I move over to dust off your
husbands ash filled box
staring on in silence
as you pour oil in a pan
and I listen to the sizzle
of our simultaneous lives.
