For Laura (1958-2022)

I start to text you
to ask how you are doing
and then I remember…

I go to dial your number
to tell you about my day
and then I remember…

I see the moon, I see “our” numbers
I think we should have lunch again soon
and then I remember…

I think of you so often.
I miss you so much.
I don’t know what to do without you.

And then
I remember..
