the table cloth

her hands
keep moving, smoothing out
the table
cloth.
is she
planning a meal,
pondering
what gifts to buy
for her children,
what flowers to grow
in her garden.
Christmas is just three
months away.
back and forth, her fingers
stretch the linen,
her palms circling
smoothing the cloth
of her past life.
