amidst the curiosities
of my yet to be packed up
roll top desk
i found a diamond bracelet
you had given me
hiding in one of
the apothecary drawers
it reminded me immediately
how you waged
war by candlelight
instinctively i pulled the pin
on that gauche grenade
lobbing the tacky bauble
into the goose shit encircled pond
behind the house
your weaponry
is not welcome here
anymore

Thank you, kindly, sir.

Hmm. Pricey grudge.
I’m sure, from you,
it was worth it.
