the fragility of it all

there was a wobble
about
everything.
a fragility, a table with
an unsturdy leg,
the lampshade torn,
the door hinge loose.
every plate
had a chip, a crack
in every cup.
each board
in the floor had a squeak.
everything seemed
broken to some
degree, worn and 
overused.
even her.
