Today: using poetry writing to reflect on thr after image of a relationship that is no more.

TIN

For Zachary

Ten years

Named for tin

Because after that all time

It is strong and durable, so they say

But I find myself thinking of tinkers

With hammers and shears

Perhaps marriage is

That too

There is beauty in the dented, mended watering can

That can still hold water, that can still nourish life

- A.C. Smith
