An Afternoon with Jane
Oh, to eat chocolate cake
While wearing a white linen dress
Sitting in the room where
She wrote about life.
Sipping tea
Listening to clocks chiming
A ghostly tune.
Oh, to believe for a moment
That Jane Austen wants
To hear about the latest
Cinematic versions of her
200 year-old books.
Giggling about why Darcy is everyone’s
Favorite character.
Oh, to touch the quill
She held in her hand
As her mind turned to
Carriages and balls,
Love and loss
And happy endings that
She never had.
