My Heart in a Tin

I gave my former lover a
second chance at love.

His toothache shortened our
visit one enchanted evening.

I procured and housed two cloves
in an empty metal
tin.

The note inside - In case you get a
toothache. Thanks for filling my cavity.


Our meetings became infrequent
and now have ceased.

The tin, meant for him, remains.
An aromatic reminder of love & kindness

I wanted to share, if we'd gotten it
right, the second time around.
