My body is a body of water.                             My body is a body of water.                                                         My body is a body of water.

My body says: I can drown inside myself. My body says: Watch this.

— Reyna N.A., from All Summer Longing

A woman’s “poesy ring” with initials, from 1592, made of gold and rock crystal. On the ring’s inner surface is inscribed, “The cruel seas, remember, took him in November.” From a love token to a memorial/ mourning ring, a fate that often befell many wives or mistresses of sailors.
