At the Dinner Table

- Chika Unigwe


You passed me the salt

It was to your right, I think

And what was it you asked for?

"Honey, could you pass me the curry?"

 

I didn't even know you had developed a taste for it

For whom? I wonder

There are lots of things

I don't know anymore, I guess

We have reached the end

"I will love you forever"

It used to ring true but we don't even say that

Not to lie, I know

In the middle

Is a bowl of carrots

And we reach for it

Together, maybe there is a chance
