Necklace

Wear thine necklaces, not with strung pearls or beads
Nor with sharp jewels- or glassy cut diamonds.
Wear them with feathers, so that at least when it is time for
The pearls- the jewels- the feathers to fall out
You still have the string intact - for the string
Is what you want to keep around your neck.
But do not flow in thine thought- and make the string strong
To support all your heavy jewels- that slowly
It transforms into a noose.
