Millefiori

millefiori paper weight

**Millefiori
a gift from a doting husband on a honeymoon to Venice,
I have been played with by curious childish hands,
held down papers,
refracted sun.
Now I live at the home of the granddaughter
refracting light
and being loved.

**millefiori is a combination of the Italian words “mille” (thousand) and “fiori” (flowers).
