The drawer is full of rubber bands and keys
that don't fit any lock I own today.
I’m digging through the clips and batteries
until I find the thing I shoved away.
It’s notched and cold. The silver beads are dull.
A name is hammered deep into the tin.
The grime is thick inside the letter ‘L,’
and when I drop it back, the wood is thin.
