Written for:  The Twiglets #251 - "boxed relics"


Box discovered
in Mom's closet
held treasured
photos and letters
from Dad.


Wish I knew
what became of
a box containing
a braid of my hair.


she smiles
as wooden box is opened
small jade Buddha


            He was fascinated by boxing
       joined a line of would-be's all jostling
              for amateur night,
             anyone could fight.
       They jeered, 'Relic', yet he won–moves outstanding.
