ON THE MANTEL

Three vases of different blues;

Stone Buddha; clay Assyrian god

Who refuses to give his name;

Clock in a cloisine half-circle;

Wood Buddha sure that he

Is slightly more serene than Stone;

Two pottery chickens, one big

One small. Spool of black thread 

With a needle stuck in it, placed

High among gods and chickens 

To be out of the children's reach.
