Coffee Cans


The mantel was  lined with old coffee cans.

No consistency.

Folgers, Maxwell  House, and Hills Bros.

It depended on what had been on special at the  time.

Their lids, all on tight.

Hands full of fresh lilac  surrounded them.

Laying in front and stuffed between.

At the end  of the line was a smaller can.

It held the image of a peanut in a top  hat.

This was surrounded by sweet pea and baby's breath.

Another  of the cans, a red Folgers,

had a single rose atop it's  lid.

Slightly wilted.

The edges of the petals starting to  blacken.

The house was immaculate.

Hardwood floors free of rugs  or clutter.

Lace on the arms of the over stuffed chairs.

An  afghan across the back of the couch.

>From the kitchen came the smell of  a fresh brewed pot.

A half full canister sitting on the  counter.

Now plastic.

Plastic.

Would hardly fit in when  the time comes.

Enjoy.
