Remembrance

Kept, not displayed.

For Dad. Mum Forever. Miss You. A name, a date, a line from something they used to say. A small, deliberate set, drawn to be restrained about it.

These sit where you can see them without being asked about them — the inner forearm, the upper arm, across the chest.

Wear one for the fortnight, and again on the day that matters. It fades. The rest does not.
