Lies

his pillow lies next to me, my nose pressed to its cheek 
                                                         — he is not here

good penning.... I suppose breathing his scent in as you try to drift to sleep is both comforting and upsetting at the same time... hugs

He could have used a little white pillow --- or even a fib. Nice monoku, Kim. Cheers, Gershon
