those
days, of going to the jewelry
shop
and examining what
fine jewel i could buy
for my
sweetheart
to smooth things over,
to win her
back, or to seal the deal
on a lifetime
of walking on eggshells.
what long hours
i would spend, telling
the clerk
to take out a ring
from under the glass,
or a bracelet,
a necklace,
or a watch.
then checking the price
on the tiny tag,
was this one worth it?
should i swipe
the card
to win her back?
