'What June Kept'

June keeps things. Elderflowers that opened on a Tuesday and nobody noticed. Forget-me-nots that insist on coming back. Smartweed at the edge of the path. Celosia, claytonia, mimosa buds — the month’s full inventory pressed into bronze, sealed under resin, worn as evidence.

This piece is a record. Not of the whole summer, but of exactly what was true in June.

This pendant is for the woman who pays attention to which month it is.
