when she goes
she will leave me
hag stones
and dozens of little colorful cloth bags
a polished rose quartz angel
and a tiny rough crystal
Japanese fridge magnets
and a half finished mandala coloring book
saved Christmas and birthday cards
and a black and white beaded bracelet blinking “I love you”
a hole in my heart too big to fill
and her poems
and they will try

Lovely poem! I have no idea what a hag stone is, but it sounds very magical!
Thank you! And a hag stone is a rock with a naturally occurring hole that goes all the way through it and it is considered to have protective powers.
Thank you, Maggie. Good to know! I love the sound of it!
lovely
