Gold-toned Ben Wa balls. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
He gave me ben-wa balls for Christmas
encased in a black velvet box.
It might have been a wedding ring
but I knew right away that it wasn’t.
Lifeless globes of icy brass
throbbed hot and molten inside.
Their transformation, temporary,
Reminded me of him.
He gave me ben-wall balls for Christmas.
He must have known I was planning to leave.
He joked that they might replace him one day
and shortly thereafter they did.
