Loss

I’ve been reading Kyle Vaughn’s Lightning Paths and writing through the daily exercises. Today’s prompt is to write a poem about a significant loss.

Echoes

I used to call her
  ask for advice
     tell her about my day, ask about hers
        talk about dogs, kids, things

she always knew the answers
   even before the questions 
       when no one else did

she held Dad together
    like no one else could

I miss her
