the fireplace

she wanted
a fireplace
in her house before
she died.
so together you
sat on the floor
after making
love and flipped
through
the sear's
catalogue,
turning over
the flimsy pages
by candle light
until she showed
you the fireplace
that she wanted.
it was circled
in red.
the price underlined.
free delivery
by Christmas,
which never came.
