The Highlights Ring is Sunday sunlight on the bed, pale linen the soft grey of a mourning dove, two juice glasses on the table ringed with wine. It promises grits on the stove, coffee on the stove, grilled vidalias, jam and cheese and squash blossoms. Tai chi in the backyard, tipping over, laughter over the sound of birds, of bells, the cat winding through the grasses with you, bending and pouncing, stretching into an alphabet of shapes, our bodies containing every word in the world.

The Highlights Ring is a 3mm wide textured metal band with squiggles.
