The Button

The Button

written by: Jen Schneider

 

the button jar,
miles traveled
memories stored

the button —
trust secured
stitch by stitch
the lost button,
thousands of stories
replete of plot twists

a three-button suit
hangs on a wooden hanger
soldiers’ shoulders alert

of the button’s
many secrets – always,
sometimes, never,
truth, so bold
