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
