LOVE, Early Punch Paper Embroidery on Ribbon hand-colored photographs floating around as one tries

floating around as one tries to the land the balls

and with a bit of a knowingness to her gaze despite her youth

with a surface worn smooth and nice weight to it

and with a steel post attached to one front leg should one want to stand him outside the front door for a bit to keep an eye on things

(Of course who would ever part with one of these

Stains and fading to the ribbon for sure, which seems right, but not much
