Nikki wears a scarlet ribbon on her finger
in place of a wedding band
She treasures it,
reminiscing about the night
her husband John put it on her hand
At the time they couldn’t afford wedding rings,
all they had was a spool of that bright scarlet string,
so they each cut a piece of it
said “let this scarlet be a symbol of our love”
