The Star of David
sparkled in the snow globe,
Reminding her of the day
she almost bought grape jelly.
Spread on thick,
his accounts of life
gave richness to the day,
Like the jelly,
she almost bought for him
to spread on thick
on peanut butter
sandwiches --
Both would have given
sustenance
to a relationship
still forming.
Hesitant,
she left the globe
on the shelf,
the possibilities
still ajar.
