sunday visit with Ernie

he would bring out
a plate
of grapes

and cheese. crackers. nothing
fancy.

a knife, a fork.
some cold cuts.

he'd stumble forward
in his hat

his glasses.
his thick socks.

gentle and wavering.
a wizened smile
creased upon his face.

let me know, he'd say,
when

you're ready for a drink.

popcorn?
