A Simple Touch

envelope.
my name in his hand
I trace the letters, thinking—
my hand occupies the very space
his once did

      1. Nice! Two greeting cards are posted on the cabinet in my office. Both are open to reveal the messages my friends wrote inside when I moved away, after 35 years with my peeps. I recently read the card again and had the same thought. I reached out and touched the ink, feeling close once again to the dear friends I miss so much.
