Leftovers
A pair of fine brown brogues ..
A brace of
bespoke, bridle leather belts ..
Two pairs
of gents elasticated braces
still in their
original box and half a dozen
freshly
laundered handkerchiefs ..
Eighteen
assorted pocket knives, plus
his old silver
pocket watch, complete with
albert chain,
threepenny bit father-fob and key ..

To me, a list filled with sadness, as though inheriting these leftovers after the passing of someone. This list hints at the nature of the man that owned them. Sad but true. - Phil A.
You may never know just how good it feels to have you cast ya eyes across across the ink I have spilt here MF27 .. muchly is only barely enough .. Neville
Emotive words Neville, those items mean so much.
Andy
and of course, I still have every single one .. thank you kindly Andy
Brilliant!!!
(be it a single, memory
revisiting at an imperfectly
timely, moment
or that picture, we walk past
time n again
yet this one moment, we stop
to consider, choosing
to allow the pain and remember
or
those remnant, belongings
decades later
that somehow, still feel
warm, to the touch
as if, just yesterday
they were in the hands
of the one, we so dearly wish
was still by our side...)
You are a credit to your insight, understanding & our species kind sir .................. Neville
