i hold the ring
worth its weight in water
a trinket of our love
pooled in my palms
worth its weight in water
a trinket of our love
pooled in my palms
i wonder
does the surface glimmer
the same for you
as it does for me?
does the surface glimmer
the same for you
as it does for me?
would you savor
every last drop
and fall to the heat
pleading for more?
till death; for life
holistic & ripened
i am waiting
for this silly trinket to
solidify–
solidify–
–but instead
watch as its glimmer
evaporates
into air
watch as its glimmer
evaporates
into air
