SENTIMENT
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
The Hawk Queen Bed 9:22am
I am heart-broken
I have lost
My Mother’s Amber Beads
I kept Them in My Closet
with other necklaces
but for yesterday’s Dinner
I could not find Them
when last I wore Their Rich Glassy Orange
could the string have broken
& I not have known?
February 19th, 2016 Found Them! Found Them in My Closet after hanging up a spiral necklace I wore today to see My New Psychiatrist. I saw My Mother’s Amber Beads dangling from an unworn fringy purse My Daughter gave Me, and called the discovery a miracle!
