Family seeking decanter
badly mislaid by its father.
It is well formed but dinged
up, pressed from highest
grade brass, now tarnished
by smoke and fingers un-
washed. Inlaid near the top
were blue gems, though
possibly they’ve cracked
from their base. Its etchings
were charming like smiling
child with new gifts, though
they too are sure to be dirty.
Inside there’s the markings
that tell the date of its
forming: December 14th of
seventy-six. The insignia
pressed in beside, shows
cracked bottles there topped
by owl and snake. And last it
was saw, it was down at Lucky’s
Cheap Liquor, where it had
laid spilling wine down the
cracks of their doorstep. If
you have found it, please
consider, that we’ve loved it
so long, and would like it re-
turned. Then call 5382461.
Thanks.
