Line Gauthier Poet Ode

Signature Ring

Unique
As she was
Once so vibrant
Powerful
And invincible

Not much left of her now
Other than precious memories 
And her signature ring
That I so treasure

I have a secret
I’ll share with you only 
Come close
Let me whisper in your ear

My grand-mother’s ring is magical
When I look into the diamond
And without any effort on my part
Coming to life at will
Her hand appears out of thin air
Filling out the ring
And the rest of her body follows
Like an inflatable version of herself
She never speaks
She just smiles
