Antique Store Window in New Orleans — Image by kenne
The Antique Showcase
In the Mode of Shel Silerstein
It’s not a door or window, no—
it doesn’t creak or swing or glow.
It’s just a box with glassy face,
that holds old dreams in one small place.
A trumpet, hat, a porcelain cat—
things that whisper, “Remember that?”
And though it stands so still, so sly—
I swear those antiques wink as you walk by.
