Three Years
A poem
Published in

I still pick up my phone to call you
from time to time
before I remember your phone
is in my dresser drawer
the last text I sent you
remains when I power it up
I could take it to one of those
drop boxes
cash for your old phones
but that’s still too final
as if the inner workings
might contain the connections
of our history
