Jar

A jar now mutely holds washers and clamps, nuts, bolts, screws, buttons, and the oddity. It once held the dreams I dreamt and jangled with hopes, desires I’d saved, lost in one life.

Nicely done, Linda. Dreams, desires, hopes they do tend to get away rather quickly. A touch of sadness implied.

Fantastic.....an original take on the theme and a metaphorical compilation of the nuts and bolts of life.

So very GOOD! You did a wonderful job with this tetractys, a form I've only attempted once or twice. Both stark of imagery and full of feeling, really good piece.
