You know, the more I think about this piece and reply to comments, the more I realize that it's kind of a character manifesto for me. That's a little unexpected - though not *surprising* since the copper imagery has been nagging at me for some time now.
Thank you, H-chan. You continue to rock my socks off with your feedback. :DDD

Oh, I'm SO GLAD that you like this piece! I was really excited about it, but was a little nervous about the tone [I was afraid it was too moody for a birthday gift]. So - yay, a million times yay! It was an honor to be able to contribute a bit of shiny to celebrate YOU, honey!
MWAH!

Moody is perfect for me right now. ;) I loved it, really did. *hugs tightly*

It’s automatic ritual
customized sign of the cross
a subtle rosary rolling,
spooling out along the road.
so fitting
When it comes to family,
Dean feels it’s always better to be safe;
then you’re never sorry.
again, oh, Dean...

Oh, I'm so pleased that your eye snagged on the highway rosary bit! \o/
I probably should have added you to the dedication here, too. Conversations that we've had about SPN and *your* words definitely influenced this poem.
Thank you, as always, for your feedback darling! ♥!

I love the images of ash and dust in the beginning slowly shifting to the brighter copper of the end. How the collection of pennies moves from being about Mary to being about keeping Dean, Sam, and John connected.

And you know, I hadn't really noticed that shift, from ash-dull to copper-bright. I was consciously aware of working that theme in on an emotional level, but I hadn't realized it worked on the imagistic level. Woo hoo! *laughs*
The connection piece... yeah, that was the cornerstone for the whole piece. I've always thought of Dean as the One Who Binds in the Winchester family. That was the underlying personal meta that informed this piece.
Thank you for reading and commenting, honey!
