Memorabilia In my angular attic the spiders have been weaving for the past fifty years. I came across some yellowed letters hidden at the bottom of a drawer, stashed away long ago in my memory banks. lost images flipped thru like an old movie calendar, following the script in front of me. I put the notes down and a claddagh ring fell out from one of the envelopes, turning in errant directions, hitting the grey floor. I picked the ring up, held it up to the vanishing light and placed it on the oak piece, looking straight ahead. Seeing a much older face in a mirror of corroded silver above the chest, I could sense the sundown edge outside my window.
