The ring

Ridiculous and lovely in equal measure
Red resin rose ring
Large lollipop-like lickable-looking
A statement
A present

Not wearing
Show me gratitude
Get it

Missing from my muddle of bangles
Delving digging scattering panicking
Red resin rose ring
It’s gone
The present

The wrath
Air filled with shouting
Silence

Pizza delivery pepperoni and cheese
Grab a tip
Run to his bedside drawer and rifle
Red resin rose ring
The present

Under receipts and business cards
Amongst change
Nestling

Ridiculous and lovely in equal measure
Red resin rose ring
Large lollipop-like lickable-looking
A statement
A punishment
