“You’re such a gem!”, it was the way she said it that was overly nauseating. Catherine never could understand why her grandmother made her out to be something special and this time was no different. The simple fact the old woman’s voice wavered and the wrinkles in her skin jiggled when she spoke only seemed to add to the unintentional insult.
gemstones litter my fingers
shining and flitting with sun
or rain
i hate rings
i prefer to wear necklaces
but gems on necklaces
never look quite
as good

gem looks nice. i never had one though. i’d be nice to look at one once in a while i suppose. or give someone one.
