What was on the wall that day.
My friend's voice on the phone is enough.
A stranger taught me how to fold a fitted sheet in the laundromat. I had been struggling.
My grandfather kept his marriage license in his wallet his whole life. We found it at the funeral. Folded soft.
My father's voice on the answering machine after he was gone. I let the tape break before I could erase it.
Hot water hitting the back of my neck after a long day.
Someone fixed my flat tire while I was inside the diner. Wouldn't take money.
Grateful for the way the dog stretches when she wakes up. She's been here twelve years. She still stretches like a puppy.
A woman at the YMCA showed me the locker room without making me feel new.
My daughter texts me before she goes to bed. Every night. She's twenty-eight.
The man at the deli noticed I forgot my wallet and put my sandwich on a tab.
Tomatoes warm from the sun.
My dad called to tell me he was proud of me. I'm fifty-two.
