There was a large tray of buffalo chicken wings
on a marble coffee table
beside a silver candle holder with pink candles.
Uncle Roger was eating chicken wings,
one after another.
putting the bones in a small pile
beside some books about Van Gogh and Rembrandt.
He held up a bone as Louise walked by,
"Does this remind you of anything?" he asked.
