when this coin rubs clean
when the flowers fade and the words have rubbed away
from years of salt and sweat and never falling completely from round my neck
i'll pitch this copper coin into the sea.
it came with a hole
saw me to quebec
when it ceases to stain my chest and neck a green circular stamp
and the wreath has broken to pieces
maybe i'll bring it back to montreal, sink it into some canadian waters
