her bare shoulders and neck
perfect place to showcase her keepsake;
the pendant, looped through a delicate chain
dangling above her midriff.
amongst the precious metals,
a single ruby jewel casts a red shimmering face.
it was her keepsake, a part of her;
only one vacancies in her locket:
how can one choose only one
photo, person, memory
out of a whole lifetime?
her locket lives bare.
