Work Text:
The velvet box of pins dropped,
one lost forever,
wedged for all time in a crack
in a split plank of elm.
And I can’t find the word.
One name at a time. One face at a time. One place at a time. Punching out holes in a lifetime. Memories shattered.
I own nothing. I rely on the talent and kindness of strangers.
No Beta. All mistakes are mine to claim and bear.
