Your Grandfather’s Desk

By Mitzi Danielson-Kaslik

As we made love over it,

I can’t help but wonder,

What this desk must have seen,

The things it must know,

The stories it could tell,

If only it had a voice,

It must have known the wars,

It must have seen prosperity,

And it must have known famish,

I know from you,

The desk has seen Vienna,

I wonder if its told anyone its secrets,

If it could one day tell us,

I wonder if it’ll ever tell our story.
