Actually knowing that, makes this a very chilling read. Quite scary really but a powerfully compelling works.TC X ;-)

I wrote this after seeing something on last night's news about a man who had murdered several young women. It showed many items of jewellery that he had taken from his victims. There were many more pieces of jewellery than the number of his known victims would suggest, so now the families of missing girls, going back over decades, will have to examine these items to see if they recognise any of them. I found this story very sad and chilling. The photos of his victims showed beautiful girls on the brink of their lives. So I wrote this for them.

I guess they could mean the spiritual and the physical loss - or maybe they were items picked randomly because they are normally worn and often lost. A powerful poem Ann - who couldn't be moved by the premature closure of life. The repetition of certain words really brings home the 'chaos of emotion'. Impossible not to be affected by it.

This is very effective and powerful and therefore very troubling. When tragedy strikes it is often the small things which bring it home. Starting with the crucifix and the locket feels perfect. What do they symbolise for you?
