As frail hinges 
Pivot on a case's door 
Commemorative 
Souvenirs from places 

Containers change 
With each occasion 

A cellophane encased 
Display of paper 
Certificate 
To credit years of service 

A tool of central enterprises 
The early hope 
For permanence 
The words 

The rings 
Consistency 
The social security 
A miracle is high tragedy 

Thought mistaken 
For a memory 
Clear the dust from 
Smiles in boxes 

Pass a patterned wall 
Recall their voices 

A local post 
Will list your friends 
In order of 
Disappearance 
The lawn scattered 

Tins feed birds 
A portion baked for 
Absent guests 
And the mass edition icon 

God sent comfort 
Your salvation 
But who grants absolution 
For sins that 
Never were committed 

Tension makes a tangle 
Of each thought 
Becomes an inconvenience 
Sound as it never penetrates 

As servile edges 
Break and 
Feint 

Thought mistaken 
For a memory 
A dress length 
Assassination 
A fractured family tie 
Another christening 

Christening 
Christening 
Christening
