Age and Time; Rabbit hole
Lockets; sentimental keepsakes. Worn close, they hold memories. Seasons change, we age and time passes. Stories are created and retold, places are visited and objects collected that evoke nostalgia. Senses trigger recollection, traditions pass between generations like heirlooms.

to think about stopping
herself before she found

seemed to be a very deep
well...Down, down, down.
Would the fall never come to an end?'
