Heirloom

  1. For example, a number of brims
  2. may be made before the crown
  3. of the hat is begun. This reminds us of rings
  4. before the fingers are fully formed, especially
  5. where family heirlooms are concerned.
  6. My great grandmother died before I was made
  7. of matter and now I wear her wedding ring like
  8. I’m her, carrying a featherbed on my back from the Old World.
