Love this draft! So many strong images and lines. I’m intrigued by the shoebox, its keys and teeth. It reminds me of a drawer in an old Italianate chest that came over from Austria with my great grandmother. I used to open it from time to time - mesmerized by the wedding rings and old teeth of ancestors - some still with the gold in them.
It's always remarkable when an image that just tumbles from my head, nonsensically, inexplicably, somehow resonates with a reader. Thanks for sharing your memories with me (and my readers).
