Souvenirs

Here
The earrings hang
For the first time
From their fleshy loops

Remember
The day
We searched high and low
And found them

It was 
A container for flowers
That I sought
And we found

At last
After the long day was over
"Just one more"
You implored

Inside
The beautiful shop of
Artisan glass
There it was

At the back
In a dark crevasse
The vase I sought
Met my eyes

But here 
Remain the other
Souvenirs
of that day

Flowers
Made from other flowers
Pressed and set
Frozen

Appearing alive
Disembodied, rearranged 
But still lovely
Botanical kintsukuroi
