Na/Glo/PoWriMo Day 10 Grief and Containment


What My Friend Did a Few Months Later


she took a picture of him to the bar on their wedding anniversary 

put his leather coat and favorite fedora

on the chair beside her 

ordered sausage pizza 

two glasses of chianti 

did her best

not to cry


the bar man who had known them both and wouldn't

let her pay     lifted the other glass

to hers in honor

of the day
