Wedgwood

by Megan Buckley


Wedgwood

He flings desire
like a dinner plate
at the wall.

How do you like the fine china now?

And every night the
plate will not give;
it boomerangs

back to him, settles
itself deeper into
the cupboard

alongside the silver
knives and
salt cellars,

waiting
for the table
to be set.
