THE MEMORY PEARLS

The necklace breaks.
The pearls scatter
and, somehow, it is not enough
for her to know that,
though lost for a while,
they are still nearby

She wants them all back,
the moments and memories,
and those who made them.
She wants them all back,
secured together and shining,
before her dazzled eyes

  3. If she finds them all will she be able to restring them in the same order? Thinking about it, it might be rather interesting not to: she could put the first smile of her first child before the time the school bully tried to shove her head down the loo.
