Table Lamp
Lamp with beads
around the edge,
decorations designed
to reflect light,
accent the bulbs
efforts.
heavy brass base
keeps the stand from
falling. fabric leaks
out just enough
rays to comfort the
room.
warm glow bounces
off your cheek as
we talk. steam from
a tea cup mists the
vision.
This is a gentle memory
