Renhai Reflections: Day's End


Day's End

A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (vs) & Gillena Cox (gc)

all her trinkets stored
in the closed jewel box —
the music stops /gc

a wrench, bolts, and a spare tire /vs
the lamplight casting shadows /gc

second performance —
the understudy receives
a louder applause /vs

that first stanza makes me think of my almost 103 year old aunt. She still takes her ear rings off an stores them in her little box.
