remember her
in that white man’s house
she is his
server serving Sunday
dinner servitude
the one who stands
leaning over his table of brown
mahogany wood shine
the single illumination
for his Queen Anne dining room
where she hands around
costly gourmet food
prepared in colors of spring
by her strong girl’s hands
and smelling too good
remember her
their fragile pretty thing
the dainty fawn drawn as one
of their practically functional decorations
an abstract study in patience
who carefully waits upon
the man's obnoxious teen son
and solemn young
daughter
who would never bother
to look her way
to see the heart-warming
loveliness she was
never saw her
once that day
or any other
