Family Heirloom

Matching Loves

Hanging aside my mate, lifeless,
quiet, glancing at unfamiliar faces,
watching, barely noticing my plight,
unable to ask for assistance,
searching for helping hands to remove me from these nails,
hard, rusting nails inserted at my base,
designed to so-called elevate me to a place
of prestige,
leaving me as nothing more than
just a mere symbol to those who enter…

“You are welcome to dine in this kitchen!”

Who am I?

I am the BIG fork next to the BIG spoon
hanging in your grandmother’s kitchen,
now eat up!

What is the deal with those giant utensils? Sadly, they were in my childhood home too.
