The Devil is in the Details

I

as I settle to read Foglia’s latest,

with a hot mug and grammy’s blanket,

the charm of dust specks dancing in a sunray

makes me pause and smile.

.

II

what makes us miss someone

is not their absence, nor

the length of time between

meetings – it is turning to share

the little things and

finding their space

empty.

.

III

i miss you.

  1. So well said, Sophie. It really is the little things that cause the most emotion. Wonderful poem, love!
