YOU'LL NEED:
- 17 six-sided dice
- Six the cinnamon shades of a fading autumn
- Two gilt from melted jewelry, sold for liquor money
- Four the hues of void, cracked and hungry
- Four others the shade of secrets known only by two, each fearful the other will speak them
- One inset with iridescent feathers, taken from the nest of a violet starling (just fledged)
- A tarot deck, heavily used, but not by you
- A collection of marbles, the ones you'd thought you'd lost from when you were younger
- Take a moment to stare into the galaxies trapped within
- Try to remember when you last played with them
- Remember how the sun baked the dusty ground that summer
- Then, set them aside (for now)
- A coin, small, from a land you don't remember visiting
- 4-5 books on varying subjects
- Those you pulled from your grandfather's bookshelf (at his wake)
- Your grandmother used to be a librarian
- But it's hard for her to remember those days now
- Hard for her to remember to finish all those books she never read
- Hard for her, without him
- So you took them, so you could have one fucking thing
- To remember him by
