i keep looking for your brief blurry outline through the front door glass
hurrying ahead to be first arrived, for hugs, smiles, bringing little gifts, giving the kitchen sink a "proper"clean
tea and talks and walks
your little shape, too small to be hugged too hard

our history could be traced through our charity shopping
i keep wanting you
i keep listening for the sound of you
but i'm not sure i remember your voice
