the project

no need for a plumber.
she's got this.
a saw,
some new pipe,
putty,
a wrench, a sleeve,
an elbow.
inside
there's the ring,
a tooth,
hair
and assorted debris
from years
of brushing,
washing, rinsing.
a mercury dime appears.
a clasp
to a bracelet, a shard
of glass
from the wine that
tilted
and made a red splash
everywhere.
