The Jewellery Maker

• "Each day after sunrise he walks to the workshop"
• "like his father before him"
• "the smell of blossom, a plate-blue sky"
• "He sits straight-backed, lays out his pointed tools"
• "Under deft fingers, gold butterflies dance"
• "silvery moons wax and wane"
• "her skin wrinkled by sun, in simple cotton dress"
• "He imagines the women who will wear what he has made"
• "warming the metal his hands caress"
