drawer · three, a small collection
pewter, copper, silver. they belonged to three different households which are not households any more. each fits the same finger, which is to say no one's finger now.
the felt of the drawer has taken their shape. you would have to take some care to put them back in the wrong places.
field-note: smallest is the copper. wear at the same place on each, where the needle came.
