Byrdes Collection,
The Ruby
discontinued
like our years together
I tried to replace
the lost and broken pieces
they mollified me
for a while
those memories
of us
so young
never anticipating
our demise
I see the pieces
in our old china cabinet
every once in a while
they speak to me
quietly
collecting dust

In the 1st few years after my husband of nearly 20 years was murdered at work, I kept buying replacement crystal ( as well as dishes) through this website that is the title of the poem. I get emails from them, and I have not unsubscribed even though I haven't bought anything from them in over 20 years. My husband's perpetrator died of cancer before being prosecuted. This email brought everything to mind again today. The loss and the unfairness of life.
