Eye candy here.
Bringing back memories,
Crisp as if they were separated from now
Only by glass
Not time.
My mother's button tin
Bottom draw of the white chest of drawers
In the laundry-cum-sewing room.

My mother's button tin
Bottom draw of the white chest of drawers
In the laundry-cum-sewing room.
Snuggled among
The other tins
Quality Street for lace trims
Danish biscutis for ribbons
Slippy satin and rough grosgrain.
The shiny white laminate drawers
The soft, icy blue tiles.
Cold.
The tin.
A coffee can.
White muslin glued over.
The texture.
Smooth and cold, lightly covered
By soft and warm.
Good to slide your had over.
A tiny blue ribbon.
Matched the ice-blue tiles
It's tiny dots
Matched the shiny white drawer
Circling the top of the tin.
The blue plastic top
Easy to pop off
Even for little fingers
Fingers which loved to run
Through buttons
Feel them
Slipping through fingers
Watch them
Gliding over one another
That one from that top
This from another
Small red flowers
White enamel with pictures
Fabric covered.
A tin full of colourful
Shiny
Slippery
Memories.
