dinner for one
i think of you
hold you between spoonfuls of tiramisu
and though i’ve never held you
between little or big spoons of our own making
i think of you all the same
all the sweet
all the soft
i think of you
i think of you
wish for more memoried moments
in our little photo book of a brief lifetime
little snippets of smiles in my direction
one two three cheese
and all the yummy bites in between
i think of you
i think of you
excitedly fingering buttons on
my black mirror to remind you
that i carry you with me
carry you piggy back
under arm
tucked into front right pocket
held in my favorite cross body
that hugs me too...
and
some days that’s enough,
