    "another year"
    __ Since 1981 I've reached to touch her photograph… she must know that she has been missed these many years.

    that heartful smile
    shown in her last photo
    a touch

    A poem with emotional touch.

    return from funeral–
    my mother’s voice
    in every room

    My mother's gone now,
    not at my dinner table.
    A whippoorwill calls.
