Three Words Unspoken

S. R. Mearns

My eye caught it
From the corner of Sunday lunch
Three words unspoken
Lip formed
Not meant for saying
Not meant for others
But straight to Dan’s heart
Transmitted and decoded
In that moment everything stopped
Cutlery- unwashed
Roasts - un gravied
Falling rain
Retraced to clouds
Even Dave fell from the sky
And the turbulent sea
Of Dan’s world
Calmed momentarily
As mirrored glass
Reflecting in Ellies eyes
The three words unspoken
That said more than any letter,
Poem, verse, card, speech or vow.
A microwave warmth spread
Between them
Across the roast beef and Yorkshire puds
From the corner of Sunday lunch
