Still Life

The swaying light
above the worn, wooden table
grows frighteningly dim
Love feels thick,
selfish, and suddenly grim
We can quickly become
sweet and fresh
like harsh words forgiven
by remembering what we forgot
Or like the old fruit
buried at the bottom
of a pristine pearl
white marble bowl
We will slowly rot
