“Spoon's Vigil Before Evening Gathering”
Spoon, wooden, kitchen (domestic implement)
See also: heirloom; hand, the; evening
First referenced in connection with broth (p. 12),
then with arguments conducted in low voices (p. 47),
then with silence that was not silence but rather
the sound of someone stirring (p. 88),
then with nothing at all — just a plate, a window,
and the particular quality of light
that means someone is about to come home (p. 204).
