There is still enough space

in the dill jar from your kitchen

to season salmon

for two in mine.

Still enough hand towels that we

shopped for together

for my family of five

to dry their hands on.

I still wear the necklace with the gold pendant

that you left for me,

only when kids aren’t around

because of its sharp edges.

I sometimes dial your number

wanting to share what happened in my day

and then remember that all I have are those tangible reminders

and the memories in my heart.
