Rings Like Gravestones

Janet Kuypers, 07/05/06

I like to have nice rings on my fingers
I don’t have much, but I like gemstones
on my rings, I don’t bother
with big earrings
or expensive necklaces
I think they’re too much
but I like rings

and it makes me feel bad, in a way
that my mother gave me a few of her rings
knowing she was going to die
and not wanting her children to argue
over who gets what

so I’ve got these rings I like to wear
but now I know for a fact
that on each of my middle fingers
whenever I go out in public
I’ll be wearing rings my mother gave me

not even ones she gave me before
but ones she gave
knowing she would die soon

but I wear these rings
it’s not like I have a choice in the matter anymore
and I know that no one thinks anything
of the rings I’m wearing

so I become the only one
treating these rings live gravestones
when no one has even died yet
