Treasure Case – v6


Family memories
scraps and treasures
preserved on shelves
behind panes of glass
frozen there on the wall

most without note, provenance
lost with the passing
the matriarch, her memory
of the things, their deep meaning

triggers of stories, feelings,
smell, touch, connectedness
the living of our family
framed, saved, treasured
living pieces of us
