UNTITLED
     by Meg Wise-Lawrence (gibralto@walrus.com)

     Two months ago, the chain
     that held the charms of my children
     together & around my neck,
     broke. It caught
     as I bent to clean the dryer
     of somebody else's lint.
     I caught the children
     in my hand but the broken chain
     wriggled through my fingers
     to the floor. I deemed it beyond repair
     & left it lying there.
