i sat at that table again
today
silver gaffer tape
still fixes five stacked pennies
to the short leg

did you ever get it clean
i know it was your favourite
both were - spilled wine
and stained shirt

i fumbled through my bag
that day
mannish? boyish?
fixed the spill's cause
but didn't know how to help

it was only today, remembering your tears
i realised somewhere
i've learned one difference
between reason and excuse

Thanks @FrostPoem - penny.
