A chipped enamel first love ring
my mother’s broken watch strap
my sons toys and babygrows
and a dog tag from and old pet
A handkerchief complete with holes
from bygone days of infant school
photographs of streams and ducks
a wedding cake horseshoe just for luck
A letter from a different era
a mobile phone with your last text
an old cassette you made for me
a treasure trove, I won’t forget
Treasure Trove 2017
