Love
Worn close
For the one you keep near. Cast to be handled, worn thin at the edges, and handed on when the time is right.
Life
Still going
For the stretch you are in now. Marked while it is still happening, not after, so the piece ages at the same rate you do.
Loss
Kept anyway
For what is gone and still carried. A weight you choose to wear, so the absence has somewhere to sit other than your chest.
