the walking antique

she had
a good eye for antiques,
for art,
for vases
and pieces of China.
she knew
the style,
the era, the various makers
of furniture,
and cutlery.
she knew fabrics,
silks
from lands far away.
silver and wood.
antiques were her thing.
and now she had lived
long enough
to become one.
