I was looking for a hex key or a spare fuse

and found this brass circle instead.

It’s got that specific clink I used to lose

in the sound of the floorboards under the bed.

2014 is etched into the reverse side,

along with a number I haven't called in years.

It’s a piece of a life that took a long ride

out of the house and away from the fears.

The metal is pitted, the name is a ghost

worn down by the friction of running through grass.

I am the one who is staying at the post,

holding the hardware, waiting for it to pass.
