matching lamps

she had matching lamps
sitting
on matching tables
beside matching blue chairs
the curtains were parted
evenly, as were the sheers.
flowers on the table,
centered.
the books aligned by height
and color.
each can or jar positioned
just so in the cupboard,
dishes by size
and weight together.
everything was in its place.
even her husband.
sitting still, in his khaki pants
and matching sweater.
