When the words won’t come
When the words won’t come,
either from mouth or pen
some people make gifts
to show their feelings.
A shiny bracelet,
braided from copper wire,
the sharp ends gently smoothed.
.
A polished beach pebble,
from a shared place,
with a delicate painted sigil.
Two tiny Gypsy clothes pegs,
hand carved from Hazel,
hung on fine gold ear-wires.
Are they still treasured?
